Here are some key notes on circle geometry: ### 1. Basic Definitions - **Circle**: A set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center. - **Radius**: The distance from the center to any point on the circle. - **Diameter**: A chord that passes through the center; it is twice the radius. - **Circumference**: The distance around the circle, calculated as \( C = 2\pir \) or \( C = \pid \) where \(d \) is the diameter. - **Area**: The space enclosed by the circle, calculated as \( A = \pir‘2 \). ### 2. Key Properties - **Chord**: A line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle. - **Secant**: A line that intersects the circle at two points. - **Tangent**: A line that touches the circle at exactly one point. - **Arc**: A part of the circumference of a circle. ### 3. Angles - **Central Angle**: An angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle, subtended by two radii. - **Inscribed Angle**: An angle formed by two chords in a circle which have a common endpoint. Its measure is half of the intercepted arc. ### 4. Theorems -**Inscribed Angle Theorem**: The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. - **Chord Properties**: - Chords equidistant from the center are equal in length. - The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. - **Tangent-Secant Theorem**: If a tangent and a secant intersect at a point outside the circle, the square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the length of the secant segment and its external segment. ### 5. Circle Equations - **Standard Form**: The equation of a circle with center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) is given by: \[ (x - h)42 + (y- k)42 = 142 N ### 6. Applications - Circle geometry is used in various fields including architecture, engineering, and computer graphics, as well as in solving real-world problems involving circular shapes. ### 7. Practice Problems - Calculate the circumference and area of a circle with a radius of 5 cm. - Determine the length of a chord that is 6 cm away from the center of a circle with a radius of 10 cm.
