IDENTIFY THE TERM REALTED
TO A CIRCLE AND DRAWS A
CIRCLE WITH DIFFERENT RADII
USING A COMPASS
CIRCLE

• it is defined as a shape with equal distance to

all points from its center and there are no
circle
• A circle is a set of all points in a plane with the
same distance from a given point called the
center
Terms related to Circle

POINT O is the center of the circle. A

circle is named by its center.
R
N RADIUS is a line from the center to a
O point on the circle. The radius of the
circle is named as ON. (Radii is the
plural form of radius). The Radius of a
circle is one-half of the diamter
S

A CHORD is a line segment that joins

any two points on the circle. RS is a
chord of circle O
Terms related to Circle

A DIAMETER of a circle is a chord

passing through the center. PT is a
diameter of circle O. It is twice the
length of the radius of the circle
P N

CIRCUMFERENCE is the total

distance around the circle.

the circle.
