Circle Geometry Powerpoint

The document discusses circle geometry and defines key terms like arc, sector, and segment. It provides objectives for students to learn to define a circle, identify circle elements, and calculate the length of arcs, areas of sectors, and areas of segments. Formulas are given for circumference of a circle, length of an arc, area of a circle, and area of a sector. Examples are worked through to demonstrate finding circumference, arc length, sector area, and the area of a segment defined by a chord of a circle.

What is a Circle ??
Let us BrainStorm!
What is a circle
• A closed, round geometric figure in which the set of all the points in
the plane is equidistant from a given point called ‘center’.
