What to Focus On

  • A circle is a closed curve.
  • All points on the circle are equidistant from the centre.
  • The fixed point inside the circle is called the centre.
  • Radius connects the centre to a point on the circle.
  • All radii of a circle are equal in length.
  • It is half the length of the diameter.
  • Diameter passes through the centre.
  • It is the longest chord.
  • Diameter = 2 × Radius.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The diameter is just another chord, so it's not special.

Radius is the distance from the edge to the centre, so it can start from any point.

All chords are diameters.

Memory Tips

Definition of a circle: All points on the circumference are equidistant from the centre.

Radius is the line from centre to any point on the circle.
