Study Notes
Circle Terminology
- The distance between any point of the circle and the centre is called the radius.
- The length of one circuit along the circle is called the circumference.
- A line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle is called a chord.
- The point equidistant from all points on the circle is called the centre or center.
- A ring-shaped object, the region bounded by two concentric circles is called an annulus.
- Any connected part of a circle is called an arc.
Circle Components
- The region of the plane bounded by a circle is called a disk.
- A line segment joining the center of a circle with any single point on the circle is called a radius.
- A region bounded by two radii of equal length with a common center and either of the two possible arcs is called a sector.
Circle Properties
- An extended chord, a coplanar straight line intersecting a circle in two points is called a secant.
- The word 'circle' derives from the Greek word 'kirkos', meaning 'ring' or 'circle'.
- Euclid's definition of a circle states that it is a set of points equidistant from a fixed point, called the center.
Related Concepts
- A region bounded by a chord and one of the arcs connecting the chord's endpoints is called a segment.
- Intervals and arcs may be considered as open or closed, not containing their boundaries.
- Prehistoric people made circular structures, including stone circles and timber circles.
- The Egyptian Rhind papyrus gives a method to find the area of a circle.
