Learning Objective
I can define and apply the terms radius, diameter, chord, tangent, secant, and arc to solve problems involving circles.
- 1
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circle, while a chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle.
- 2
A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle, and its length is always twice the length of the radius.
- 3
The distance around the circle is called the circumference, and the ratio between the circumference and the diameter is represented by π (pi).
