Questions and Answers

What is the definition of a circle?

  • A set of points in a plane that are closest to a fixed point
  • A set of points in a plane that are not equidistant from a fixed point
  • A set of points in a plane that are farthest from a fixed point
  • A set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center (correct)

    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.
