Study Notes

  • A circle in Geometry is defined as the set of points equidistant from a single point, forming a continuous shape.
  • The center of a circle is the original point, and the distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius.
  • The diameter of a circle is the distance across it, always being twice the length of the radius.
  • The perimeter of a circle is known as the circumference, the distance around the circle.
  • Pi (π) is a special number representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14.
  • Pi is an irrational number with decimal digits that never end or repeat, making it infinitely accurate.
  • The value of Pi is commonly rounded to 3.14 for most math calculations, but it continues indefinitely.

Explore the key concepts related to circles in Geometry including definitions of a circle, center, radius, diameter, circumference, and the special number Pi (π). Learn how to calculate the circumference and understand the significance of Pi in circle calculations.
