PARTS of CIRCLE

A Radius is the distance from the centre of a circle to any point on

circumference
its
A sector
is that part of a circle formed between two radii and the
circumference
A segment is that part of a circle formed between a chord and an
arc arc is a part of a continuous curve

PARTS of CIRCLE

Circumference is the perimeter of a circle

A chord is a straight line joining two points on a curve
The diameter of the circle is twice the length of its radius

Characteristic of apotema:

1. Perpendicular with the chord

2. Devide the chord into 2 equal
