Circle Geometry Concepts

The video tutorial introduces students to the concept of circles, explaining their presence in everyday objects. It defines a circle as a set of points equidistant from a center point and introduces key terms such as center, chord, diameter, radius, circumference, and arc. The tutorial includes a recap of these terms and an activity to identify circle parts using a figure, reinforcing the learning objectives.
