A circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center. The constant distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius. Circles are examples of symmetrical figures and play a fundamental role in geometry, trigonometry, and real-world applications such as construction, navigation, and engineering.
1. Solves problems involving circles (circumference, area, and related properties)
Basic measurements:
- Radius (r): the distance from the center to a point on the circle.
- Diameter (d): the distance across the circle through the center, equal to 2r.
- Circumference (C): the distance around the circle. Formula: C = 2πr or C = πd
- Area (A): the amount of space inside the circle. Formula: A = πr²
