Curve: A curve is a figure that can be drawn without lifting the pencil from the paper.
a) Open Curve: An open curve has its different starting and ending points, and is also
b) Closed Curve: A closed curve has its starting and ending points the same, and is also
drawn without lifting the pencil from the paper. Example:
3 Triangle
4 Quadrilateral
5 Pentagon
6 Hexagon
7 Heptagon
8 Octagon
9 Nonagon
10 Decagon
A circle is a set of points in a plane, each of which is the same distance from a fixed point (called
the center).
A segment joining the center and an endpoint on the circle is called a radius (plural: radii).
A segment with endpoints on the circle is called a chord.
A segment passing through the center, with endpoints on the circle, is called a diameter. A
diameter divides a circle into two equal semicircles.
A sector is the part of a circle enclosed by two radii of a circle and their intercepted arc. The
segment of a circle is the region bounded by a chord and the arc subtended by the chord.
