G. Properties of Circles

This document contains a GCSE maths worksheet on properties of circles. It includes worked examples of drawing a chord and diameter on a circle. There are questions for students to practice finding radii, diameters, circumferences and perimeters of circles using definitions of circles terms and the formula for circumference (C=2πr). It also includes questions involving sectors of circles.

Section A

Worked Example

Draw a chord on the circle.

Step 1: Give the meaning of a chord.

A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference.

Step 2: Use the definition to accurately draw the chord.

Mark two points of the circumference of the circle.


Join the two points to create a chord.

Guided Example
