circles

Circle is the locus of a point which moves in a plane in such a way that its distance from a given fixed point is always constant. This fixed point is called center of circle. Practice on circles by Finding the Area of a Circle
 Circles geometry can be explained as shown below,
A line segment joining the end point on the circle is called its radius. The plural of radius is radii.
A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle.
A diameter is a chord of circle passing through the center of circle.
The perimeter of a circle is called its circumference.
A line which intersects a circle in two distinct points is called a secant of the circle.
Theorem used in circles geometry is shown below,
Theorem: Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angle.
Given a circle C (O, r) in which chord AB = chord CD. To Prove that AOB = COD, we have OA = OC.
Sector of circle is enclosed by an arc of a circle and the two bounding radii. The diameter of circle divides the circle into two equal arcs; each of these two arcs is called a semicircle.
Circles which have the same center and different radii are called concentric circles (for more on circle click this). The different places of the circle are discussed below:
1. inside the circle
2. on the circle
3. outside the circle
Some other properties of circles,
The angle in the semicircle is a right angle which is 90°.
The arc of the circle subtends a rights angle at any point on the circle.
Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
Above discussion is helpful for Grade XII students to understand the concept of Circles.
