Study Notes

Fundamentals of Circles

  • Center: The middle point of the circle. We often label it using its coordinates, like (h, k).
  • Radius (r): The distance from the center to any point on the circle's edge. Think of it as half the circle's width.
  • Diameter (d): The distance across the circle, passing directly through the center. It's always twice the radius (d = 2r).
  • Chord: A straight line segment connecting any two points on the circle's edge. The diameter is the longest possible chord.
  • Secant: A line that passes through a circle, intersecting it at two points.
  • Tangent: A line that touches the circle at exactly one point, called the point of tangency. This line is always perpendicular to the radius at that point.
  • Circumference (C): The total distance around the circle's edge. It's like the perimeter of other shapes.
  • Area (A): The amount of space enclosed within the circle.
