Circles: Related terms and statement of theorems

A circle is a closed curve whose all points lie in the same plane and are at the same distance from a fixed point.
The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the circle (The line segment
joining the centre and any point on the circle).

Arc – It is basically the connected curve of a circle.

Chord -A chord of a circle is a line joining two points of the
circumference. AB is a chord in fig.
A chord passing through the centre is called diameter.
Sector – A region bounded by two radii and an arc of a circle.
Segment- A region bounded by a chord and an arc lying
between the chord’s end points.

Equal chords of a circle subtend
equal angles at centre. Conversely,
the chords are equal if the angles
subtended by chords
at the centre are
equal.
The perpendicular from centre of a
circle to a chord bisects the chord.
Conversely, the line drawn through
the centre of a circle to bisect a
chord is perpendicular to the chord.
Equal chords of a circle (or of
congruent circles) are equidistant
from the centre (or respective centes).
Conversely, Chords are equal if they
are equidistant from
the centre.

TRY YOURSELF

1. The longest chord of the circle is .

2. is the region between the chord and its corresponding arc.
3. Sector of a circle is the region between radii joining endpoints of the arc to circle and _ of the
circle.
4. In the given figure, BOC is a diameter of a circle and AB = AC. Then, ∠ABC =
5. If chords AB and CD of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then:
a. AB = CD b. AB > CD c. AB < AD d. None of the above
6. AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle with centre O such that ∠AOB=80°,
then ∠COD = .
