Parts of the Circle: Identifying and defining elements

Examples with solutions for Parts of the Circle: Identifying and defining elements

Exercise #1

Which figure shows the radius of a circle?

Step-by-Step Solution

It is a straight line connecting the center of the circle to a point located on the circle itself.

Therefore, the diagram that fits the definition is c.

In diagram a, the line does not pass through the center, and in diagram b, it is a diameter.

Answer

Exercise #2

Which diagram shows a circle with a point marked in the circle and not on the circle?

Step-by-Step Solution

The interpretation of "in a circle" is inside the circle.

In diagrams a'-d' the point is on the circle, and in diagram c' the point is outside the circle.

Answer

Exercise #3

M is the center of the circle.

Perhaps AB=CD AB=CD

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

CD is a diameter, since it passes through the center of the circle, meaning it is the longest segment in the circle.

AB does not pass through the center of the circle and is not a diameter, therefore it is necessarily shorter.

Therefore:

ABCD AB\ne CD

Answer

No

Exercise #4

Is it possible that the circumference of a circle is 8 meters and its diameter is 4 meters?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To calculate, we will use the formula:

P2r=π \frac{P}{2r}=\pi

Pi is the ratio between the circumference of the circle and the diameter of the circle.

The diameter is equal to 2 radii.

Let's substitute the given data into the formula:

84=π \frac{8}{4}=\pi

2π 2\ne\pi

Therefore, this situation is not possible.

Answer

Impossible
