CIRCLES

Grade 10
CIRCLE
 • Locus of point from a fixed point (center)
and a fixed line (radius).

• Area:
• Circumference:
 POINTS
• A is a point outside the circle.

• B is a point in or inside the circle.

• C is a point on a circle.
 LINES
• Tangent line: a line that intersects the circle
in exactly one point.
• Secant line: a line that passes through the
circle and intersects it in at most 2 points.
• Chord: a line segment that goes from one
point of the circle to another on the circle’s
circumference.
• Diameter: a chord that passes through the
center, also the longest chord.
• Arc: part of the circumference of the circle.
 LINES
• SECTOR: Part of the area of the circle
which is formed by connecting 2 radius and
an arc.
• Segment: part of the area of the circle that is
formed by a chord and an arc.
