Math Parts of a circle

2D figures -Circles
A circle is the set of all points that are the same distance away
from a specific point, called the center.

 Parts of a circle  A radius of a circle is a line segment with one endpoint at the
 Circumference center of the circle and the other end point on the circle. The
 Area plural form of radius is radii.
 A diameter of a circle is a line segment that has endpoints
on the circle and passes through the center. A circle's
1 diameter is twice the length of the circle's radius. 2

 If you know the circumference of a circle,
you can divide it by 𝜋​ to find its diameter. In
the formula, d is the diameter.
Calculating radius using circumference
 If you know the circumference of a circle,
you can multiply it by 2𝜋 to find its radius.
In the formula, r is the radius.
Area
The area of a circle measures the space inside of the circle.
