Expression
1. Circle Circle is a plane figure composed
of all points equidistant from its
center.
Circumference is the distance
around the circle.
Area of a circle is the region
Circle C or O C occupied by the circle in a two-
Circumference = 2πr dimensional plane.
Area of a circle =πr²
2. Central Angle
A central angle is an angle with
its vertex at the center of a circle,
with its sides containing two radii
of the circle.
Length o f arc MN is 12π.
Length of arc MYN is 18π.
Area of the white sector is 135π.
3. Inscribed Angle
An inscribed angle is half of a
central angle that subtends the
same arc. The angle at the centre
of a circle is twice any angle at
the circumference subtended
by the same arc.
m<ABC= m<AOC
4. Area of a Triangle
The area of a triangle is defined
as the total region that is enclosed
by the three sides of any
particular triangle.
A= ½ bh
5. Area of the Sector of
A sector of a circle is the area
a circle bounded by two radii and the arc
between the endpoints of the
radii. The area of a sector is a
fractional part of the area of the
Sector Area = (A)(arc/360) circle , just like arc length is a
fractional portion of the
Area of the circle circumference.
Ratio of the sector
6. Arc length
Arc length is the distance
between two points along a
section of a curve. Determining
the length of an irregular arc
segment is also called
A/360 = L/ 2πr rectification of a curve.
7. Area of a Circle
The area of a circle is the
number of square units inside
that circle . If each square in the
circle to the left has an area of 1
cm 2 , you could count the total
number of squares to get the area
Area of a Circle = πr 2 of this circle .
(A = π r²).
8. Area of the Segment
A circular segment is a region of
of a Circle a circle which is cut off from the
rest of the circle by a secant or a
chord.
Area of the segment of a circle
= Sector Area - Area of triangle
9. ration measure of the arc
360° It is used to identify the ratio of
the certain part of a circle.
Ratio: m < / 360
Measure of arc / 360
10. Intersecting secants
The intersecting secant theorem
or just secant theorem describes
the relation of line segments
created by two intersecting
secants and the associated circle.
(A=B) B= (C+D) D
11. Intersecting secants
If two secant segments are drawn
inside a circle to a circle from an exterior point,
then the product of the measures
of one secant segment and its
external secant segment is equal
to the product of the measures of
x=½ (ABC+DFG) the other secant segment and its
external secant segment
12. Tangent Line and
The tangent line to a plane curve
Secant Line at a given point is the straight line
that "just touches" the curve at
that point. Leibniz defined it as
the line through a pair of
infinitely close points on the
RS → secant curve.
TU → tangent Secant line is a line that
intersects the curve at a minimum
of two distinct points. The word
secant comes from the Latin word
secare, meaning to cut. In the
case of a circle, a secant will
intersect the circle at exactly two
points.
13. Intersecting secant
The intersecting secant theorem
and tangent or just secant theorem describes
the relation of line segments
created by two intersecting
secants and the associated circle.
Tangent is mainly a
C2=E (A+E) mathematical term, meaning a
line or plane that intersects a
curved surface at exactly one
point.
14. Secant Segment
A secant segment is a segment
with one endpoint on a circle, one
endpoint outside the circle, and
one point between these points
that intersects the circle. Three
(A+B) B = (C+D) D theorems exist concerning the
above segments.
15. Tangent Segment
A tangent segment is a segment
and Secant Segment that is tangent to a circle at an
endpoint. A secant segment is a
segment that contains a chord of a
circle and has exactly one
(BD)2=CD . AD endpoint outside the circle. The
part of a secant segment that is
outside the circle is called an
external segment.
16. Intersecting Chord
The intersecting chords theorem
or just The chord theorem is a
statement in elementary geometry
that describes a relation of the
four line segments created by two
A1A2 = B1B2 intersecting chords within a
circle. It states that the products
of the lengths of the line
segments on each chord are
equal.
17. Intersecting
A line that intersects a circle in
tangents exactly one point is called a
tangent and the point where the
intersection occurs is called the
point of tangency.
BC = DC
