Circles
Definition
- A circle is a set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center.
- All points on the circle are equal distance from the center.
Characteristics
- A circle is a closed curve.
- A circle has no beginning or end.
- A circle is a two-dimensional shape.
Properties
- Circumference: The distance around the circle.
- Diameter: The longest distance across the circle, passing through the center.
- Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the circle.
- Center: The fixed point equidistant from all points on the circle.
Formulas
- Circumference (C) = 2 × π × radius (r)
- Diameter (d) = 2 × radius (r)
- Area (A) = π × radius^2 (r^2)
Semi-Circle Connection
- A semi-circle is a half circle, formed by dividing a circle into two equal parts.
- A semi-circle has the same center as the original circle.
- The circumference of a semi-circle is half the circumference of the original circle.
