Circle: Diameter, chord, radius, arc, tangent
Related Topics: More Geometry Lessons
In these lessons, we will learn the following parts of a circle: diameter, chord,
radius, arc and tangent
We will also learn about congruent circles, concentric circles and intersecting
circles.
The following figures show the different parts of a circle: tangent, chord,
radius, diameter, minor arc, major arc, minor segment, major segment, minor
sector, major sector. Scroll down the page for more examples and explanations.
Circle
In geometry, a circle is a closed curve formed by a set of points on a plane that
are the same distance from its center O. That distance is known as the radius of
the circle.
Diameter
The diameter of a circle is a line segment that passes through the center of the
circle and has its endpoints on the circle. All the diameters of the same circle
have the same length.
Chord
A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle. The diameter is a
special chord that passes through the center of the circle. The diameter would
be the longest chord in the circle.
Radius
The radius of the circle is a line segment from the center of the circle to a point
on the circle. The plural of radius is radii.
In the above diagram, O is the center of the circle and and are radii of
the circle. The radii of a circle are all the same length. The radius is half the
length of the diameter.
Arc
An arc is a part of a circle.
In the diagram above, the part of the circle from B to C forms an arc.
An arc can be measured in degrees.
In the circle above, arc BC is equal to the ∠BOC that is 45°.
Tangent
A tangent is a line that touches a circle at only one point. A tangent
is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact. The point of tangency is
where a tangent line touches the circle.
In the above diagram, the line containing the points B and C is a tangent to the
circle.
It touches the circle at point B and is perpendicular to the radius . Point B is
called the point of tangency.
is perpendicular to i.e.
Parts of a Circle
The following video gives the definitions of a circle, a radius, a chord, a
diameter, secant, secant line, tangent, congruent circles, concentric circles, and
intersecting circles.
A secant line intersects the circle in two points.
A tangent is a line that intersects the circle at one point.
A point of tangency is where a tangent line touches or intersects the circle.
Congruent circles are circles that have the same radius but different centers.
Concentric circles are two circles that have the same center, but a different
radii.
Intersecting Circles: Two circles may intersect at two points or at one point. If
they intersect at one point then they can either be externally tangent or
internally tangent.
Two circles that do not intersect can either have a common external tangent or
common internal tangent.
In the common external tangent, the tangent does not cross between the two
circles.
In the common internal tangent, the tangent crosses between the two circles.
