Circle

The circle is a simple shape in geometry. It consists of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the center.

Properties of a Circle

  • Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the circle.
  • Diameter: The distance across the circle through the center, equal to twice the radius.
  • Circumference: The distance around the circle, calculated as C = 2πr, where r is the radius.
  • Area: The space enclosed within the circle, calculated as A = πr².

Circle Formulas

  1. Circumference:
    C = 2πr
  2. Area:
    A = πr²

Example Calculation

Given a circle with a radius of 5:

  • Circumference:
    C = 2 * π * 5 ≈ 31.42
  • Area:
    A = π * 5² ≈ 78.54
