Worksheet: Parts of a Circle (Class 8 - Advanced)
1. Define the following parts of a circle:
a) Radius
b) Diameter
c) Chord
d) Arc
e) Sector
2. A circle has a radius of 7 cm.
a) What is the diameter?
b) A chord is 12 cm long. Is it a diameter? Justify your answer.
3. In a circle with radius 6 cm, a chord is 6 cm long. Is the chord equal to the radius? Draw and
explain what this tells us about the triangle formed by the chord and the radius.
4. A sector of a circle has an angle of 90°. The radius is 8 cm.
a) What fraction of the circle is the sector?
b) Find the length of the arc. (Use pi = 3.14)
5. Two chords of a circle are equal in length. Prove that they are equidistant from the center of the
circle using geometry reasoning.
6. The diameter of a circle is 14 cm. A chord is 7 cm from the center. Find the length of the chord.
7. In a circle with center O, points A and B lie on the circle such that AB is a chord. Point C is on the
arc opposite AB. Prove that angle ACB is greater than angle AOB.
8. A circular pizza is cut into 8 equal slices. If the radius is 10 cm, calculate the area of one slice.
(Use pi = 3.14)
