CIRCLE
It is a set of all points in a plane
that are equidistant from a fixed
point in the plane.

Circles can be denoted by their

centers.
A figure of a
circle is
shown on
the right.
The circle is A
named as
Circle A.

CENTER
It is a fixed point in the
middle of a Circle.
In the
figure,
Point O
is the
center

RADIUS
A line segment that joins
the center of a circle to a
point in the circle.
In the
figure,
line segment
AB
is a radius
of the
circle.
Which segment is C
A

an example of a B

radius?

C. Line Segment
CHORD
It is a line segment whose
endpoints are any two points
on the circle.
In the
figure,
line
segment PQ
is a Chord
of the
circle.
Which line
C
segment shows B
a chord?

A. Line O
Segment CR
B. Line P A
Segment BO
C. Line R

Segment AP
DIAMETE
R
It is a chord which passes
through the center of a circle.

It is twice the length of a

radius.
The red
line
passing
through
the center
of the
circle is a
diameter.
Which line C
segment shows a A
Diameter?

SECANT
Is a line that contains a
chord. It also connects two
points on the circle.
In the figure,
line AB
is a secant
of
Circle O.

TANGENT
It is a line, a ray, or a segment
that intersects a circle at
exactly one point.

The point of intersection is

called the POINT OF TANGENCY.
The blue
line is
the
tangent
line of
the
circle.

ARC
A segment of the
circumference of a circle.

Arcs have 3 Classifications

according to their measure.
 THREE
CLASSIFICATIONS
OF ARC
Minor Arc
Major Arc
Semi-Circle
MINOR
ARC
An arc that measures less
than half of the
circumference of the circle.

It measures less than 180˚.

The red
portion
of the circle
is an
example
of a minor
arc.
It is called
arc AB.
Which of the A

following shows a
Minor Arc?
B

A. Arc ABC O

B. Arc AB
C. Arc ABD D

C
MAJOR
ARC
An arc that measures more
than half of the
circumference of the circle.

It measures more than 180˚.

The green
portion
of the
circle is an
example
of a
major arc.
It is named as
arc ACB or
arc BCA
Which of the A

following shows a
Major Arc?
B

A. Arc ABC O

B. Arc AB
C. Arc ABD D

C
SEMI-
CIRCLE
An arc that measures half the
circumference of the circle.

It measures exactly 180˚.
