What is the Diameter and Radius of the following circle?

Diameter = 12 in
r = (d)/2
r = 12/2
r = 6
Radius = 6 in
Minor Arc
An arc of a circle whose measure is less than 180°.

The Diameter of a circle is 16 units.
What is the Radius of the circle?
r = (d)/2
r = (16)/2
r = 8
Radius = 8 Units
Tangent
A straight line or plane that just touches a curve at one point.

What is the diameter of the circle below?

d = (c)/π
d = 10/π
d = 3.18
Diameter = 3.18m
Secant
A line that intersects the curve in at least two (Distinct) points.

π (PI)
(Definition)
The ratio of the Circumference of a circle to its Diameter (3.142)
A circle has a circumference of 907.46 units and a diameter of 289 Units.
What is the ratio of the Circumference to the diameter?
π = c/d
π = 907.46/289
π = 3.14 Units
What is the Radius and Diameter of the following circle?

Radius = 8 ft
d = 2(r)
d = 2(8)
d = 16
Diameter = 16 ft
Circumference (From Radius and π)
(Equation)
c = 2πr
Suppose the radius of a circle is 3 units.
What is the Circumference?
c = 2π(r)
c = 2π(3)
c = 6π
Circumference = 18.85 Units
Radius (From Diameter)
Equation
r = d/2
π (From Circumference and Radius)
(Equation)
π = c/2r
Chord
A line segment connecting two points on a curve.
Diameter
(Definition)
Any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle.

Arc Length
(Equations)
Arc Length = (Central Angle/ 360°) Circumference
Radius (From π and Circumference)
(Equation)
r = c/2π
A circle has the circumference of 153.86 units.
What is the radius of the circle?
r = (c)/2π
r = (153.86)/6.28
r = 24.5
Radius = 24.5 Units
Circle
The locus of all points equidistant from a central point.

Circumference (From Arc Length and Central Angle)
(Equations)
Circumference = (360° / Central Angle) (Arc Length)
Circumference (From Diameter and π)
(Equation)
c = dπ
Central angle
(Equations)
Central Angle = (Arc length/ Circumference) (360°)
Arc Length
(Definition)
A portion of the circumference of the circle.
