 ACTIVITY
• DRAW A POINT SOMEWHERE IN THE
1.
MIDDLE OF THE BOARD. LET US LABEL
THIS POINT O.
• 2. DRAW ANOTHER DOT TO REPRESENT A
POINT WHICH IS ONE FOOT FROM O.
LABEL THIS POINT A.
• 3. FIND SOME OTHER POINTS DIFFERENT
FROM A WHICH IS ALSO 1 FT. FROM O.
LABEL THIS POINT B.
• 4. MARK 8 OTHER POINTS THAT ARE
HAVING A DISTANCE OF 1 FT. FROM O.
LABEL THESE POINTS AS C, D, E, F, G, H, I,
CIRCLES
WHAT IS A CIRCLE?
• A CIRCLE IS A SET OF ALL
POINTS IN A PLANE
EQUIDISTANT FROM A FIXED
POINT. THE FIXED POINT IS
THE CENTER WHILE THE
FIXED DISTANCE FROM THE
CENTER IS THE RADIUS.
 A circle is a closed curve
consisting of all points
A circle
in a plane which are at the
same distance (equidistant)
from a fixed point inside it.
Centre O

This fixed point (equidistant)

inside a circle is called
centre.

A circle has one and only

one centre.
