Circles Segments and Circumference

The document defines key terms related to circles such as radius, diameter, chord, circumference, and pi. It explains that a circle is defined by all points equidistant from a center point, and that concentric circles share the same center. A radius connects the center of a circle to its edge, a diameter passes through the center, and a chord connects two edge points. Circumference is defined as the distance around a circle and can be calculated using the formula C=πd or C=2πr, where π is an irrational number representing the ratio of circumference to diameter. Examples are given to demonstrate calculating lengths related to circles.

Circles Segments and Circumference

Circle The set of all points in a plane a given distance from a given point (the center). Circles are named by their center point.
Concentric circles Circles in the same plane with the same center.

Circles Segments and Circumference


Radius Any segment with endpoints that are the center of a circle and a point on the circle. Chord A segment with two endpoints on the circle. Diameter A chord that passes through the center.
F D di ameter chord

radius E C B
