What is circumference?
This question is not easy to answer and even more complicated to understand. If you imagine any point on a flat surface and a series of points whose distance from that point is identical, then you are looking at a circle.
A circumference is the boundary of a circle, and its elements include:
- Radius: The distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference.
- Diameter: A straight line passing through the center that connects two points on the circumference, equal to twice the radius.
- Arc: A portion of the circumference.
- Chord: A line segment connecting two points on the circle.
- Tangent: A line that touches the circle at exactly one point.
