Parts of a circle
| Přetahovatelná položka | arrow_right_alt | Odpovídající položka |
|---|---|---|
Radius | arrow_right_alt | the point which is equidistant from all points on the circle. The circle is named after this point. |
Secant | arrow_right_alt | a line segment whose endpoints are the center of the circle and a point on the circle |
Diameter | arrow_right_alt | is a line segment whose endpoints are on the circle |
Center | arrow_right_alt | is a chord that passes through the circle's center |
Circumference | arrow_right_alt | a line (in the plane of the circle) that intersects the circle at exactly one point |
Tangent | arrow_right_alt | a line (in the plane of the circle) that intersects the circle at TWO points |
Arc | arrow_right_alt | perimeter / distance around the circle |
Chord | arrow_right_alt | a set of points on the circle consisting of two endpoints and all the points between them. |

Let's talk more about the Circumference - Diameter relationship of circles. It is an important relationship - that involves one of the most "famous" irrational numbers.
All circles are
In the previous slide, we saw that the Circumference of every circle was about
