Lesson
1 Define a Circle
When we look around us, we see a lot of things with different appearances. One of
the things that we always see are different round objects such as dishes, frying pan,
wheels, coins, and more. There must be important reasons why these things are
circular. If you wonder, let us begin with knowing what a circle really is and what its
parts are.
What’s In
Read the given situation and solve for what is asked using the applicable concept
you have learned in your past Math lessons.

2. Consider the illustration on the right.
Note: Do not peek at the next part of the module until you have answered these two
problems.
Now that you have your own answer, let us find out if you got it correct.
Solution:
1. The height of the Success Tower, 40 ft., and the distance of its foot to the foot
of the ladder leaning to it, 13 ft., were already given. Notice that the
arrangement of those objects formed a triangle. The given information serve
as the lengths of the legs of the triangle formed. This makes the length of the
ladder the hypotenuse, which is the distance that the person must travel to
get to the top of the tower.
Since you are looking for the length of the ladder (hypotenuse), you must use
the Pythagorean Theorem.
a 2 + b 2 = c2
132 + 402 = c2 substitute the given values of a and b
169 + 1600 = c2 square the substituted values
1769 = c2
√1769 = √𝑐 2 extract the square root
Final Answer: The length of the ladder is 42.06 ft. Therefore, he must to cover
42.06 ft. to reach the top of the Success Tower using the ladder.

2. In the second problem, you were given the coordinates of your starting point
and your goal point. These two points form a line which you are supposed to
walk on. To measure its length, you must use the distance formula:
𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
Let (x1, y1) = (5, 0), (x2, y2) = (20, 30), and d = distance to travel.
𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑑 = √(15)2 + (30)2
𝑑 = √225 + 900
𝑑 = √1125
𝑑 = 33.54

What’s New
What is It
In the previous lesson, you were able to learn about the different conic sections and
how they are formed. One of these conics is the circle. Let us try to know more about
this conic section.
CIRCLE
The intersection of a cone and a plane parallel to the base of the cone is a CIRCLE
when the plane is not passing through the vertex of the cone.
Figure 1
In analytic geometry, a circle is a set of all points equidistant from a fixed point. This
fixed point is known as the center of the circle. The distance between the center and
any point on the circle is known as the radius.
5
PARTS OF A CIRCLE
Let’s take a look at these essential parts of a circle.
1. Center
The center of a circle is point inside it and is equidistant C (h, k)
Figure 3
2. Radius
P (x1, y1)
The radius of a circle is a line segment whose r
endpoints are the center and a point on the
C (h, k)
circle. It also refers to measure or length of the R
(x3, y3)
line segment formed by the center and a point Q (x2, y2)
Figure 4
on the circle. In this lesson, we will consider the
latter. The radius of a circle is usually represented by r.
In Figure 4, Point C is the center of the circle. Points P, Q, and R are points on
the circle. Line segments CP, CR, and CQ are some of the radii of the circle
and each of the measure r since the distance between the center and any point
on the circle is r on the radius.

Example 2
Figure 5
3. Diameter
The diameter of a circle is a line segment that passes A
through the center. Its endpoints are two points on the
C
circle and its midpoint is the center. The measure of the
diameter is twice the radius and is usually represented by B
d. In this figure, the center is C and the diameter is line
Figure 6
segment AD.
Example 3
Figure 7
7
We will use these two parts to derive the standard
equation of a circle from the Pythagorean theorem.
Since we are deriving the standard equation from the Pythagorean Theorem, form a
right triangle with the given points.
Now, we have the right triangle CMP whose legs are line
segments CM and PM. The length CM is x – h and the
length of PM is y – k. The hypotenuse measures r.
In our case, we can now restart the Pythagorean Theorem in terms of our right
triangle.
x – h is the length of the horizontal
P(x, y)
leg so we can replace a with x – h.
8
Substitute:
a 2 + b 2 = c2
(x – h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
Therefore, the standard equation of a circle is (x – h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 where (h, k) is the
center and r is the radius.
𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
Where d = distance between two points
(x1, y1) = coordinates of the first point
(x2, y2) = coordinates of the second point
Example 4
Figure 11
Solution:
Since the endpoints of the diameter are given, (a) we can solve the length of the
diameter using the distance formula first then (b) divide it by 2 to get the radius.
9
(a) Let (x1 , y1) = (15, 6) and (x2, Y2) = (3, -4)
𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑑 = √(15 − 3)2 + (−4 − 6)2 Subtract the numbers inside the parentheses
(b) The diameter of the circle 2 √61 or approximately 15.62. Divide it by 2 to get
the radius.
2√61 15.62
r= or r=
2 2
r = √61 r = 7.81
r ≈ 7.81
Example 5.
What is the radius of the circle in Figure 12?
10
So let’s use 𝑟 = √(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
Where: r = distance between the center and a point of the circle
(x, y) = the point of the circle
(h, k) = the center of the circle
Solution:
Let x = -6 h=2
y= 5 k=2
𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 +𝑦2
(xm, ym) = ( , ) or
2 2
𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 +𝑦2
xm = and ym =
2 2
where: (xm, ym) = coordinates of the midpoint
(x1, y1) = coordinates of the first point
Figure 13
(x2, y2) = coordinates of the second point
11
In case of a circle whose endpoints of the diameter
are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the midpoint is the center
(h,k). We can rewrite the formula as
𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 +𝑦2
(h, k) =( , ) or
2 2 Figure 14
𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 +𝑦2
h= and k=
2 2
Example 6
Solution:
Let (x1, y1) = (-1, -1)
(x2, y2) = (-4, 5)

Final answer: The center of the circle is ( 2 , 2).
