INTRODUCTION AND FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS.

A circle is the set of points equidistant from another fixed point in the
plane. The fixed point is called center, while the distance from the center
to any point on the circumference is the radius and is a constant distance.
 The circle refers to the area bounded by the circumference, i.e. the
circumference is the perimeter of the circle.
ELEMENTS OF CIRCUMFERENCE
The main elements of the circumference are the following:
 Secant: line that cuts the circumference at two points.
 Tangent: line touching the circumference at a single point.
 Chord: segment joining two points of the circumference.
 Diameter: a chord passing through the center of the
circumference. Its measurement is equal to twice the
length of the radius.
 Radius: segment connecting the center with any point on the
circumference.
FORMS OF THE EQUATION OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE
A) CENTER FOCUSED ON THE ORIGIN

If the center of the circle is the point 𝑪(𝟎, 𝟎), its equation in general form is given by 𝒙 𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 = 𝒓 𝟐
the mathematical expression attached to the right.
B) ORDINARY EQUATION OF CIRCUMFERENCE WITH CENTER AT AND OUTSIDE THE ORIGIN
By convention, when drawing a circle in the Cartesian plane, the center
is located at the coordinates 𝑪(𝒉, 𝒌).
The measurement of the radius can be deduced from the formula of the distance between two points,
you only have to know the coordinate of any of the points through which the circumference passes and
the coordinate of the center 𝑪(𝒉, 𝒌).
 Formula for the distance between two points:
 Substituting d for r (the measure of the radius) and

the coordinates h and k of the center we have:
 Then, the equation of the circumference with center

in 𝑪(𝒉, 𝒌) and radius r is:
