Let us recall the fundamentals of circles which we studied in previous chapters.
Circle:
A closed line consisting of all points on the plane that are equidistant from a given point on the plane is called a circle.
Diameter of the circle:
  • The distance across the circle.
  • The length of any chord (a straight line which connects two points on a circle) passing through the center.
  • It is twice the radius.

Diameter \(=\) \(2 ×\) Radius \(=\) \(2r\) 
  
Radius of the circle:
The radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circle.

Radius is also known as half of the diameter.
 
Radius=Diameter2
  
Area of the circle:
The area of a circle is the number of square units inside that circle.
Area of the circle \(=\) πr2 sq. units

Here \(r\) is the radius of the circle.
 
The value of the π [pi] can be either \(22/7\) or \(3.14\).
