Lesson 1; lntroduction to Circles

The circle is one of the most common geometric figures of all. lt is very simple -
just a set of points which are allthe same distance from a given point. However, it is also
a highly complex mathematicalconcept. Despite its apparentsimplicity, the properties of
a circle and its parts cannot be visuatized as easily as a square or a triangle.

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
1. Define a circle.
2, ldentifu the parts of a circle.
3. Determine the numerical relationships of the radius, diameter, circumference,
and area of a circle.

 r An inscribed angle of a circle is an angle shoes vertex is a point on the eircle.
e A minor arc is any continuous part of the circumference of a circle that is
intercepted by a centralangle measuring less than 1800.
. A semicircle is any continuous part of the circumference of a circle that is
intercepted by a diameter.
. A major arc is any continuous part of, the circumference of a circle that is
intercepted by a central angle measuring more than 1800.
r The area A of a circle can be found using the formula A = nrZ,where r is the radius
of the cirde.

Activity 2: Each row of the table below contains measurements for the radius, diameter,
circumferen@, and area of a cirde. However, one of these measurementg
does not correspond to the others. Encircle the inconect measurement in each
set.
