    Study Notes

    Definition of a Circle

    • A circle is a two-dimensional geometric shape consisting of all points that are equidistant from a fixed center point.

    Distance Around the Circle

    • The distance around a circle is referred to as the circumference.

    Area of a Circle

    • The formula used to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr², where A represents area and r represents the radius.

    Radius of a Circle

    • The radius of a circle denotes the distance from its center to any point on its circumference, essentially representing half of the diameter.

    True Statements About a Circle

    • Circles have constant curvature; all points on the circumference are the same distance from the center.
