Diagram of a circle showing key terms: tangent, chord, diameter, radius, sector, segment, and arc, with definitions around the circle.Diagram illustrating how to find points that are 5 cm from point A and 3 cm from point B, with circles drawn for each point to show intersections.

🛎️ Properties of a Circle

  • The diameter goes through the centre and is twice the radius.
  • A sector is made from two radii and the arc between them.
  • A tangent touches the circle at one point and is perpendicular to the radius.

🛎️ Finding Points with Circles

  • All points the same distance from a point lie on a circle, and that distance is the radius.
  • The intersections of circles show the possible answers.
