    What is a Circle?

    • A Circle is a 2D figure which is formed by joining all the points in a 2D plane which are at a fixed distance (i.e
    radius) from a single point. (i.e center of the circle)

    Circle Geometry Definitions

    ¤ Radius – A line segment joining the center of the circle to any point on the circle. (Ex: OA)
    ¤ Chord– A line segment whose two end points lie on the circle (Ex: BC)
    ¤ Diameter– A chord which passed through the center. (Ex: DE)
    ( Diameter = 2* Radius )

    • ¤ Secant– A line which cuts the circle at two points. (Ex: line s)
    ¤ Tangent– A line which touches circle at only one point. (Ex: line t)

    Circle : Area and Circumference

    • Area of a Circle with radius r, A = π r2

    • Circumference of a Circle with radius r, C = 2 π r

    • Central Angle = 360˚

    BrushMyQuant 2
    Semicircle : Area and Circumference
    𝜋𝑟2
    • Area of a Semicircle with radius r, A = 2

    • Circumference of a Semicircle with radius r, C = π r + 2r

    • Central Angle = 180˚

    Arc of a Circle

    • Arc of a circle is a part of the Circumference of the circle.

    • Length of Arc AB, which subtends angle Θ at the center,

    Θ
    AB = ∗2πr
    360˚

    Sector of Circle

    • Sector of a circle is a part of the circle made by the arc of the circle and the two radii connecting the arc to the
    center of the circle.

    • Area of sector OACB, which subtends angle Θ at the center,

    Θ
    Area of OACB = ∗ πr2
    360˚

    • Circumference of Sector OACB is given by

    Θ
    Circumference of OACB = ∗ 2 π r + 2r
    360˚

    Properties of Circles

    • PROP 1: A Chord subtends same angle at any point on the circle.

    • PROP 2: Angle subtended by the chord at the center is twice the angle subtended by the chord at any other
    point on the circle.

    BrushMyQuant 5
    • PROP 3: Diameter subtends 90˚ at any point on the circle

    • PROP 4: From an external point there are only two tangents which can be drawn to a circle and the length of
    these tangents is equal.

    BrushMyQuant 6
    • PROP 5: A tangent always makes 90˚with the line joining the point of tangency (point of intersection of the
    tangent with the circle) to the center of the circle.

    • PROP 6: Cyclic Quadrilateral

    o A quadrilateral whose all 4 vertices lie on the circumference of the circle is called a Cyclic Quadrilateral.

    o Sum of all the angles of Cyclic Quadrilateral = 360 ˚


    ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C + ∠ D = 360 ˚

    o Sum of diagonally opposite angles = 180 ˚


    ∠ A + ∠ C = 180 ˚
    ∠ B + ∠ D = 180 ˚

    BrushMyQuant 7
    • PROP 7: Perpendicular drawn from the center of the circle to a chord bisects the chord.

    • PROP 8: Equal chords are equidistant from the center. Or

    Chords which are equidistant from the center are equal.

    BrushMyQuant 8
    • PROP 9: Equal chords subtend same angle at the center of the circle. Or

    Chords which subtend same angle at the center of the circle are equal.
