    Study Notes

    Circles: Definitions and Properties

    • A circle is a two-dimensional shape defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point called the center.
    • The distance from the center to any point on the circle is the radius (r).
    • A line segment that passes through the center and has endpoints on the circle is a diameter (d). The diameter is twice the radius (d = 2r).
    • A chord is a line segment with endpoints on the circle. A diameter is a special type of chord.
    • A sector is a region bounded by two radii and an arc of the circle.
    • A segment is a region bounded by a chord and an arc of the circle.

    Circumference Calculation

    • The circumference (C) of a circle is the distance around the circle.
    • The formula for the circumference is C = 2πr or C = πd, where π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
    • The circumference is directly proportional to the radius and diameter.

    Area Calculation

    • The area (A) of a circle is the amount of space enclosed within the circle.
    • The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr².
    • The area is directly proportional to the square of the radius.

    Circle Theorems

    • Theorem 1: The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
    • Theorem 2: The angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
    • Theorem 3: Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
    • Theorem 4: Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180 degrees.
    • Theorem 5: The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
    • Theorem 6: Equal chords in a circle are equidistant from the center.
    • Theorem 7: Tangents from an external point to a circle are equal in length.
    • Theorem 8: The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of contact.

    Properties of Circles: Summary

    • Symmetry: Circles are symmetrical about any diameter.
    • Concentric Circles: Circles with the same center but different radii are called concentric circles.
    • Intersecting Chords: If two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equals the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.
    • Cyclic Quadrilaterals: A quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a circle.
