“The Circle and Its

Parts or the Terms

Related to It “
A circle is the set of all points
in a plane that are the same
distance from a
fixed point called the center.
A radius is a line
segment joining the
center and a point on
the circle.
All radii in a circle have equal
length.

Radii is the plural form for radius

Diameter is a line segment
that passes through the
center of the circle.
A chord is a line segment
whose endpoints are on a
circle.
A chord is a line segment
whose endpoints are on a
circle.
Apparently, all diameters are considered
as chords but not all chords are
considered as diameters because not all
chords pass through the center of the
circle.
