What is a circle?

Back

A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a fixed point, called the center.

Front

What is the radius of a circle?

Back

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference.

Front

What is the diameter of a circle?

Back

The diameter is a line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has its endpoints on the circle. It is twice the length of the radius.

What is a chord in a circle?

Back

A chord is a line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle.

Front

What is a tangent to a circle?

Back

A tangent is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point.

Front

What is the relationship between the radius and diameter?

Back

The diameter is twice the length of the radius (d = 2r).
