Radius of Circle(r)

A line segment connecting the centre of a circle to any

point on the circle itself ". The radius of the circle is denoted
by "R” or "r".

Diameter (d) of Circle

A line segment having both the endpoints on the

circle. It is twice the length of radius i.e. d = 2r. From
the diameter, the radius of the circle formula is
obtained as r=d/2.
 Circle Definition

A circle is a closed two-dimensional figure in which the set of

all the points in the plane is equidistant from a given point
called "centre".

• Centre – It is the midpoint of a circle.

• Chord- A line segment whose endpoints

lie on the circle.

• Diameter- A line segment having both

the endpoints on the circle and is the
largest chord of the circle.

• Radius- A line segment connecting the

centre of a circle to any point on the circle itself.

• Secant- A straight line cutting the circle

at two points. It is also called an extended
chord.
• Tangent- A coplanar straight line
touching the circle at a single point.
See the figure below-representing the centre, chord,
diameter, radius, secant and tangent of a circle.

The circumference of a circle is defined

as the distance around the circle. The
word 'perimeter is also sometimes
used, although this usually refers to the
distance around polygons, figures
made up of the straight line segment. A
circle circumference refers to the
distance around polygons, figures
made up of the straight line segment.
A circle circumference formula is given
by
C = πd
= 2 πr
 Where, π = 3.1415

AREA: Area of a circle is the amount of

space occupied by the circle.

The circle formula to find the area is given by

Area (A)
Area of a circle = πr^2

Example 1:

Find the area and the circumference of a circle whose

radius is 10 cm. (Take the value of π = 3.14)

Solution:

Given: Radius = 10 cm.

2 2
Area =π𝑟 = 3.14 x 10

A= 314 cm?
Circumference, C = 2πr

C= 2 x3.14x 10

Circumference= 62.8 cm

*Find the area of a circle whose circumference is

31.4 cm.

Solution:

Given: Circumference = 31.4 cm

To find the area of a circle, we need to find the radius.

From the circumference, the radius can be calculated:

2 πr = 31.4

(2)(3.14)r = 31.4

r = 31.4 /(2)(3.14)

r=10/2 ; r= 5 (ans)
Area of Pie: Central angle এর মান অনুযায়ী Pie এর area
²²নির্ণয় করা যায়।

AC =x° ,area(shaded) =A✕ x°/360°

Example: r=3m and AC=60°

Shaded area = π*9m² *60/360 = 3/2 π m²

Length of an Arc:
Central angle এর মান অনুযায়ী arc এর length নির্ণয় করা হয়।

AC =x° , AC= Circumference* x/360°

Example:
r= 3m and AC=60°
AC= 2*π*3*60/360
=π m.

**Example: What is the degree measure of the acute

angle between the hands of minute and hour at 7:45?

Solution: 7:00 থেকে minute hand 45 minute ঘুরলে hour

hand স্থির থাকলে angle টি হতাে 60° (vii থেকে ix এর মাঝে
30°+30° = 60°)

কিন্তু 45 minute a hour hand এ 45°/2 ঘুরবে

So, Acute angle =
60° - 22.50° =37.50 °(ans)
