Click on the flashcard to see the answer



What is the definition of a circle?

A circle is a set of all points in a plane that are a fixed distance from a center point.

What is the center of a circle?

The center of a circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle.

What is the radius of a circle?

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its perimeter.

What is the diameter of a circle?

The diameter is twice the length of the radius, passing through the center of the circle.

How do you calculate the circumference of a circle?

The circumference is calculated using the formula 2πr, where r is the radius.

What is the area of a disk?

The area of a disk is calculated using the formula πr², where r is the radius.

What is a chord in a circle?

A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle.

What is a tangent to a circle?

A tangent is a straight line that touches the circle at exactly one point.

What is a sector of a circle?

A sector is a portion of a circle enclosed by two radii and the arc between them.

What is a semicircle?

A semicircle is half of a circle, formed by dividing a circle along its diameter.

What is an arc of a circle?

An arc is a part of the circumference of the circle.

How do you find the length of an arc?

The length of an arc is found by multiplying the circle's radius by the arc's central angle in radians.

What is a concentric circle?

Concentric circles are two or more circles with the same center but different radii.

What is a circular segment?

A circular segment is the region between a chord and the corresponding arc.

What is the relationship between a circle and a disk?

A circle refers to the boundary or circumference, while a disk is the interior region within the circle.
