    Introduction To Circles: Figure %: A Circle

    A circle is defined as all points equidistant from a central point called the center. The distance from the center to any point on the circle is the radius. All radii and diameters of a circle are congruent since all points are the same distance from the center. The diameter connects two points on the circle and passes through the center, making it twice as long as the radius. Circles are useful in geometry proofs since their properties of congruent radii and diameters can be strategically utilized.

    Introduction to Circles

    A circle is the set of all points equidistant from a given point. The point from which all
    the points on a circle are equidistant is called the center of the circle, and the distance
    from that point to the circle is called the radius of the circle. A circle is named with a
    single letter, its center. See the diagram below.

    Figure %: A circle
    The circle above has its center at point C and a radius of length r. By definition, all radii of a
    circle are congruent, since all the points on a circle are the same distance from the center, and
    the radii of a circle have one endpoint on the circle and one at the center.

    All circles have a diameter, too. The diameter of a circle is the segment that contains
    the center and whose endpoints are both on the circle. The length of the diameter is
    twice that of the radius. Therefore, all diameters of a circle are congruent, too.

    Keep in mind that an infinite number of radii and diameters can be drawn in a circle. Although
    they are all congruent, they are not the same. Sometimes a strategically placed radius will help
    make a problem much clearer. Likewise, diameters can be drawn into a circle to strategically
    divide the area within the circle. Each of these techniques is prevalent in geometric proofs, and
    each is based on the facts that all radii are congruent, and all diameters are congruent.
    However, their position when drawn makes each one different.
    What is Rectangle?

    A rectangle is a 2D shape in geometry, having 4 sides and 4 corners. Its two sides meet at right

    angles. Thus, a rectangle has 4 angles, each measuring 90 .̊ The opposite sides of a rectangle

    have the same lengths and are parallel. Two sides are said to be parallel, when the distance

    between them remains the same at all points.

    Area of a rectangle:
    The area of a rectangle is the product of its two adjacent sides

    Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

    Perimeter:
    The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the length of its four sides. Since parallel
    sides of a rectangle have the same length, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle
    is
    Perimeter of a rectangle = Length + Width + Length + Width
    = 2 length + 2Width
    = 2 (length + Width)
