The circleIn geometry, the circle is the locus of points at the same distance from a given point. An easier way to define such geometric figure is to say that it is a closed curved line with all points equally distant from the center. The following shows an example: ![]() Real life examples bicycle wheels, coins, such as dimes and pennies, CDs, and MP3 players. A line segment joining two points on the figure is a chord.The following are examples of two chords ![]() When a chord passes through the center,we call it a diameter. A diameter usually divides such figure into two equal halves. Each half is called a semi-circle ![]() Half a diameter is called a radius. In other words, 2 radii= diameter ![]() |
