Have you imagined

yourself pushing a cart

or riding in a bus having
wheels that are not
round?
Do you think you can
move heavy objects from
one place to another
easily or travel distant
places as fast as you can?
What difficulty do you
think you will experience
without circles?

CIRCLE
A circle is a plain figure
in which all points are
the same distance from a
fixed point called a
center.
Circles are named by
their centers.

Basic Parts of the Circle
 Radius

- The radius is the

segment from the
center to any point
on the circle.
 Radius

- The plural form of

radius is radii..
  or
 or
Radius
- All radii of the same
circle are congruent.
 Chord
- The chord is the
segment that joins
any two points on the
circle.
  or
 or
Chord
- Not all chords of the
same circle are
congruent.
 Diameter
- The diameter is a
chord that passes
through the center of
the circle.
  or
 or
Diameter
- All diameters are
chords, but not all
chords are
diameters.
  or
 or
Diameter
- All diameters of the
same circle are
equal in length.
  or
 or
Diameter
- A diameter divides
the circle into two
equal parts.
  or
Secant line
- A secant line is a
line that intersects
the circle at two
points.
  or
Tangent line
- A tangent line is a
line that intersects
the circle at exactly
one point.
 Point of tangency

Point S
- A point of tangency
is a point where a
tangent line
intersects the
- An arc of the circle is
any part of a circle.
- Any pair of points on
a circle determines
two arcs.
- The two arcs make up
the entire circle.
- read as arc OL.
Three types of Arc
1. Minor Arc
- an arc that measures less
than one-half of a circle
- in naming minor arcs, 2
points or letters will be
used.

points or letters will be
used.
