Performance Task

My performance in mathematics submitted by Sweety Jean Cañon and Valerie Heart Bitan-ag defines 10 key parts of a circle including: 1) Circle - a type of line bent around until its ends join forming a loop that is exactly circular with all points the same distance from the center point. 2) Center point - the point which is equidistant from all points on the circle. 3) Radius - the length of the line from the center to any point on the circle's edge. 4) Diameter - the length of the line through the center touching two points on the circle's edge.

Parts of a circle

10 Parts of circle Definition image


1.Circle A circle is a type of line. Imagine a
straight line segment that is bent
around until its ends join. Then
arrange that loop until it is exactly
circular - that is, all points along
that line are the same distance
from a center point.

2. Center Point The center of a circle is the point


which is equidistant from all
points on the circle. In the figure
below, C is the center. The center
point is often used to label the
whole circle. The figure below
would be called "the circle C"

3.Central Angle Central angles are subtended by


an arc between those two points,
and the arc length is the central
angle of a circle of radius one
(measured in radians).[1] The
central angle is also known as the
arc's angular distance.

4.Radius or Radii The radius of a circle is the length


of the line from the center to any
point on its edge. The plural form
is radii (pronounced "ray-dee-
eye"). In the figure above, drag
the orange dot around and see
that the radius is always constant
at any point on the circle.

5.Diameter The diameter of a circle is the


length of the line through the
center and touching two points
on its edge. In the figure above,
drag the orange dots around and
see that the diameter never
changes.
6.Chord The blue line in the figure above
is called a "chord of the circle c".
A chord is a lot like a secant, but
where the secant is a line
stretching to infinity in both
directions, a chord is a line
segment that only covers the part
inside the circle. A chord that
passes through the center of the
circle is also a diameter of the
circle.
7.Tangent Line The blue line in the figure above
is called the "tangent to the circle
c". Another way of saying it is
that the blue line is "tangential"
to the circle c. (Pronounced "tan-
gen-shull").
The line barely touches the circle
at a single point. If the line were
closer to the center of the circle,
it would cut the circle in two
places and would then be called a
secant. In fact, you can think of
the tangent as the limit case of a
secant.
8.Point of Tangency A tangent is an object, like a line,
which touches a curve. The
tangent only touches the curve at
one point. That point is called the
point of tangency. The tangent
does not intersect (pass through)
the curve. Let's look at two
different examples of points of
tangency that you may encounter
in math.
9. Secant A secant is a line that intersects
the circle in two different points
and a tangent is a line that
intersects the circle in exactly one
point, called the point of
tangency.

10.Inscribe Triangle In geometry, an inscribed angle is


the angle formed in the interior
of a circle when two secant lines
(or, in a degenerate case, when
one secant line and one tangent
line of that circle) intersect on the
circle. It can also be defined as
the angle subtended at a point on
the circle by two given points on
the circle.
