Circle- a geometric figure consisting of all points of the plane located at a given distance from a given point.

This point (O) is called circle center.
Circle radius is a line segment that connects the center to a point on the circle. All radii have the same length (by definition).
Chord A line segment that connects two points on a circle. The chord passing through the center of the circle is called diameter. The center of a circle is the midpoint of any diameter.
Any two points on the circle divide it into two parts. Each of these parts is called circular arc. The arc is called semicircle if the segment connecting its ends is a diameter.
The length of a unit semicircle is denoted by π .
The sum of the degree measures of two circular arcs with common ends is 360º.
The part of the plane bounded by a circle is called around.
circular sector- a part of a circle bounded by an arc and two radii connecting the ends of the arc with the center of the circle. The arc that bounds the sector is called sector arc.
Two circles that have a common center are called concentric.
Two circles that intersect at right angles are called orthogonal.

Mutual arrangement of a straight line and a circle

  1. If the distance from the center of the circle to the straight line is less than the radius of the circle ( d), then the line and the circle have two common points. In this case, the line is called secant in relation to the circle.
  2. If the distance from the center of the circle to the line is equal to the radius of the circle, then the line and the circle have only one common point. Such a line is called tangent to circle, and their common point is called point of contact between a line and a circle.
  3. If the distance from the center of the circle to the line is greater than the radius of the circle, then the line and the circle do not have common points
  4. .

Central and inscribed angles

Central corner is the angle with the vertex at the center of the circle.
Inscribed angle An angle whose vertex lies on the circle and whose sides intersect the circle.

Inscribed angle theorem

An inscribed angle is measured by half the arc it intercepts.

  • Consequence 1.
    Inscribed angles subtending the same arc are equal.

  • Consequence 2.
    An inscribed angle that intersects a semicircle is a right angle.

Theorem on the product of segments of intersecting chords.

If two chords of a circle intersect, then the product of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the segments of the other chord.

Basic formulas

  • Circumference:
C = 2∙π∙R
  • Arc length:
R \u003d C / (2 ∙ π) \u003d D / 2
  • Diameter:
D = C/π = 2∙R
  • Arc length:
l = (π∙R) / 180∙α,
where α - degree measure of the length of an arc of a circle)
  • Area of ​​a circle:
S = π∙R2
  • Circular sector area:
S = ((π∙R 2) / 360)∙α

Circle equation

  • In a rectangular coordinate system, the equation for a circle of radius r centered on a point C(x o; y o) has the form:
(x - x o) 2 + (y - y o) 2 \u003d r 2
  • The equation for a circle of radius r centered at the origin is:
x 2 + y 2 = r 2

Let's first understand the difference between a circle and a circle. To see this difference, it is enough to consider what both figures are. This is an infinite number of points in the plane, located at an equal distance from a single central point. But, if the circle also consists of internal space, then it does not belong to the circle. It turns out that a circle is both a circle that bounds it (o-circle (g)ness), and an uncountable number of points that are inside the circle.

For any point L lying on the circle, the equality OL=R applies. (The length of the segment OL is equal to the radius of the circle).

A line segment that connects two points on a circle is chord.

A chord passing directly through the center of a circle is diameter this circle (D) . The diameter can be calculated using the formula: D=2R

Circumference calculated by the formula: C=2\pi R

Area of ​​a circle: S=\pi R^(2)

arc of a circle called that part of it, which is located between two of its points. These two points define two arcs of a circle. The chord CD subtends two arcs: CMD and CLD. The same chords subtend the same arcs.

Central corner is the angle between two radii.

arc length can be found using the formula:

  1. Using degrees: CD = \frac(\pi R \alpha ^(\circ))(180^(\circ))
  2. Using a radian measure: CD = \alpha R

The diameter that is perpendicular to the chord bisects the chord and the arcs it spans.

If the chords AB and CD of the circle intersect at the point N, then the products of the segments of the chords separated by the point N are equal to each other.

AN\cdot NB = CN \cdot ND

Tangent to circle

Tangent to a circle It is customary to call a straight line that has one common point with a circle.

If a line has two points in common, it is called secant.

If you draw a radius at the point of contact, it will be perpendicular to the tangent to the circle.

Let's draw two tangents from this point to our circle. It turns out that the segments of the tangents will be equal to one another, and the center of the circle will be located on the bisector of the angle with the vertex at this point.

AC=CB

Now we draw a tangent and a secant to the circle from our point. We get that the square of the length of the tangent segment will be equal to the product of the entire secant segment by its outer part.

AC^(2) = CD \cdot BC

We can conclude: the product of an integer segment of the first secant by its outer part is equal to the product of an integer segment of the second secant by its outer part.

AC \cdot BC = EC \cdot DC

Angles in a circle

The degree measures of the central angle and the arc on which it rests are equal.

\angle COD = \cup CD = \alpha ^(\circ)

Inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords.

You can calculate it by knowing the size of the arc, since it is equal to half of this arc.

\angle AOB = 2 \angle ADB

Based on diameter, inscribed angle, straight.

\angle CBD = \angle CED = \angle CAD = 90^ (\circ)

Inscribed angles that lean on the same arc are identical.

The inscribed angles based on the same chord are identical or their sum equals 180^ (\circ) .

\angle ADB + \angle AKB = 180^ (\circ)

\angle ADB = \angle AEB = \angle AFB

On the same circle are the vertices of triangles with identical angles and a given base.

An angle with a vertex inside the circle and located between two chords is identical to half the sum of the angular magnitudes of the arcs of the circle that are inside the given and vertical angles.

\angle DMC = \angle ADM + \angle DAM = \frac(1)(2) \left (\cup DmC + \cup AlB \right)

An angle with a vertex outside the circle and located between two secants is identical to half the difference in the angular magnitudes of the arcs of a circle that are inside the angle.

\angle M = \angle CBD - \angle ACB = \frac(1)(2) \left (\cup DmC - \cup AlB \right)

Inscribed circle

Inscribed circle is a circle tangent to the sides of the polygon.

At the point where the bisectors of the angles of the polygon intersect, its center is located.

A circle may not be inscribed in every polygon.

The area of ​​a polygon with an inscribed circle is found by the formula:

S=pr,

p is the semiperimeter of the polygon,

r is the radius of the inscribed circle.

It follows that the radius of the inscribed circle is:

r = \frac(S)(p)

The sums of the lengths of opposite sides will be identical if the circle is inscribed in a convex quadrilateral. And vice versa: a circle is inscribed in a convex quadrilateral if the sums of the lengths of opposite sides in it are identical.

AB+DC=AD+BC

It is possible to inscribe a circle in any of the triangles. Only one single. At the point where the bisectors of the inner angles of the figure intersect, the center of this inscribed circle will lie.

The radius of the inscribed circle is calculated by the formula:

r = \frac(S)(p) ,

where p = \frac(a + b + c)(2)

Circumscribed circle

If a circle passes through every vertex of a polygon, then such a circle is called circumscribed about a polygon.

The center of the circumscribed circle will be at the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of this figure.

The radius can be found by calculating it as the radius of a circle that is circumscribed about a triangle defined by any 3 vertices of the polygon.

There is the following condition: a circle can be circumscribed around a quadrilateral only if the sum of its opposite angles is equal to 180^( \circ) .

\angle A + \angle C = \angle B + \angle D = 180^ (\circ)

Near any triangle it is possible to describe a circle, and one and only one. The center of such a circle will be located at the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle intersect.

The radius of the circumscribed circle can be calculated by the formulas:

R = \frac(a)(2 \sin A) = \frac(b)(2 \sin B) = \frac(c)(2 \sin C)

R = \frac(abc)(4S)

a, b, c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle,

S is the area of ​​the triangle.

Ptolemy's theorem

Finally, consider Ptolemy's theorem.

Ptolemy's theorem states that the product of diagonals is identical to the sum of the products of opposite sides of an inscribed quadrilateral.

AC \cdot BD = AB \cdot CD + BC \cdot AD

This article contains the minimum set of circle information required for successful passing the exam mathematics.

circumference called the set of points located at the same distance from a given point, which is called the center of the circle.

For any point lying on the circle, the equality holds (The length of the segment is equal to the radius of the circle.

A line segment that connects two points on a circle is called chord.

The chord passing through the center of the circle is called diameter circles () .

Circumference:

Area of ​​a circle:

Arc of a circle:

The part of a circle enclosed between two of its points is called arc circles. Two points on a circle define two arcs. The chord subtends two arcs: and . Equal chords pull together equal arcs.

The angle between two radii is called central corner :

To find the length of the arc, we make up the proportion:

a) the angle is given in degrees:

b) the angle is given in radians:

Diameter perpendicular to chord , divides this chord and the arcs that it subtracts in half:

If a chords and circles intersect at a point , then the products of segments of chords into which they are divided by a point are equal to each other:

Tangent to a circle.

A straight line that has one point in common with a circle is called tangent to the circle. A line that has two points in common with a circle is called secant.

The tangent to the circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the tangent point.

If two tangents are drawn from a given point to the circle, then tangent segments are equal to each other and the center of the circle lies on the bisector of the angle with the vertex at this point:


If a tangent and a secant are drawn from a given point to the circle, then the square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the entire secant segment by its outer part :

Consequence: the product of the entire segment of one secant by its outer part is equal to the product of the entire segment of the other secant by its outer part:


Angles in a circle.

The degree measure of a central angle is equal to the degree measure of the arc on which it rests:

An angle whose vertex lies on a circle and whose sides contain chords is called inscribed angle . An inscribed angle is measured by half the arc it intercepts:

∠∠

An inscribed angle based on a diameter is a right angle:

∠∠∠

Inscribed angles subtending the same arc are :

The inscribed angles subtending the same chord are equal or their sum is equal to

∠∠

The vertices of triangles with a given base and equal angles at the vertex lie on the same circle:


Angle between two chords (the angle with the vertex inside the circle) is equal to half the sum of the angular magnitudes of the arcs of the circle enclosed inside the given angle and inside the vertical angle.

∠ ∠∠(⌣ ⌣ )

Angle between two secants (the angle with the vertex outside the circle) is equal to the half-difference of the angular magnitudes of the arcs of the circle enclosed inside the angle.


∠ ∠∠(⌣ ⌣ )

Inscribed circle.

The circle is called inscribed in a polygon if it touches its sides. Center of the inscribed circle lies at the intersection point of the angle bisectors of the polygon.

Not every polygon can be inscribed in a circle.

Area of ​​a polygon containing a circle can be found using the formula

here is the semiperimeter of the polygon, is the radius of the inscribed circle.

From here inscribed circle radius equals

If a circle is inscribed in a convex quadrilateral, then the sums of the lengths of opposite sides are . Conversely, if in a convex quadrilateral the sums of the lengths of opposite sides are equal, then a circle can be inscribed in the quadrilateral:

Any triangle can be inscribed with a circle, and only one. The center of the inscribed circle lies at the intersection point of the bisectors of the interior angles of the triangle.


Inscribed circle radius is equal to . Here

circumscribed circle.

The circle is called circumscribed about a polygon if it passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of the circumscribed circle lies at the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the polygon. The radius is calculated as the radius of a circle circumscribed about a triangle defined by any three vertices of the given polygon:

A circle can be circumscribed about a quadrilateral if and only if the sum of its opposite angles is equal to .

Near any triangle it is possible to describe a circle, moreover, only one. Its center lies at the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle:

Ptolemy's theorem

Lecture: Circle and circle

Circle is a closed curve, all points of which are at the same distance from the center.


AT Everyday life You have seen the circle more than once. It is this that is described by the hour and second hand, it is the shape of the circle that the gymnastic hoop has.


Now imagine that you drew a circle on a piece of paper and wanted to decorate it.


So all the decorated space, bounded by a circle, is a circle.


Both circle and circle have some parameters:

    The center is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle. The center of a circle and a circle is indicated by the letter O.

    The radius is the distance from the center to the circle (R).

    Diameter is a line through the center that connects all points of the circle (d). Moreover, the diameter is equal to two radii: d = 2R.

    A chord is a line segment that connects any two points on a circle. Diameter is a special case of a chord.

To find the circumference of a circle, use the formula:

l=2 πR

Please note that the circumference and area depend only on the radius of the given circle.

The area of ​​a circle can be found using the following formula:

S=πR 2 .

I would like to draw your attention to the number "Pi". This value was found just using the circle. To do this, its length was divided into two radii, and thus the number "Pi" was obtained.


If the circle is divided into some parts with two radii, then such parts will be called sectors. Each sector has its own degree measure - the degree measure of the arc on which it rests.


To find the length of an arc, you must use the formula:


1. Using degrees:

2. Using a radian measure:

If the vertex of some angle rests on the center of the circle, and its rays intersect the circle, then such an angle is called central.


If some two chords intersect at some point, then their segments are proportional:


And a circle - geometric figures, interconnected. there is a boundary polyline (curve) circle,

Definition. A circle is a closed curve, each point of which is equidistant from a point called the center of the circle.

To construct a circle, an arbitrary point O is chosen, taken as the center of the circle, and a closed line is drawn using a compass.

If the point O of the center of the circle is connected with arbitrary points on the circle, then all the resulting segments will be equal to each other, and such segments are called radii, abbreviated as Latin small or capital letter"er" ( r or R). There are as many radii in a circle as there are points in the circumference.

A line segment connecting two points of a circle and passing through its center is called a diameter. Diameter consists of two radii lying on the same straight line. The diameter is indicated by the Latin small or large letter "de" ( d or D).

Rule. Diameter circle is equal to two of its radii.

d = 2r
D=2R

The circumference is calculated by the formula and depends on the radius (diameter) of the circle. The formula contains the number ¶, which shows how many times the circumference of a circle is greater than its diameter. The number ¶ has an infinite number of decimal places. For calculations it is accepted ¶ = 3.14.

The circumference of a circle is denoted by the Latin capital letter "ce" ( C). The circumference of a circle is proportional to its diameter. Formulas for calculating the circumference of a circle by its radius and diameter:

C = ¶d
C = 2r

  • Examples
  • Given: d = 100 cm.
  • Circumference: C=3.14*100cm=314cm
  • Given: d = 25 mm.
  • Circumference: C=2*3.14*25=157mm

The secant of the circle and the arc of the circle

Any secant (straight line) intersects the circle at two points and divides it into two arcs. The size of the arc of a circle depends on the distance between the center and the secant and is measured along a closed curve from the first point of intersection of the secant with the circle to the second.

arcs circles are divided secant into large and small if the secant does not coincide with the diameter, and into two equal arcs if the secant passes along the diameter of the circle.

If the secant passes through the center of the circle, then its segment, located between the points of intersection with the circle, is the diameter of the circle, or the largest chord of the circle.

The farther the secant is located from the center of the circle, the smaller the degree measure of the smaller arc of the circle and the more - the larger arc of the circle, and the segment of the secant, called chord, decreases as the secant moves away from the center of the circle.

Definition. A circle is a part of a plane that lies inside a circle.

The center, radius, diameter of a circle are at the same time the center, radius and diameter of the corresponding circle.

Since a circle is part of a plane, one of its parameters is the area.

Rule. Area of ​​a circle ( S) is equal to the product of the square of the radius ( r2) to the number ¶.

  • Examples
  • Given: r = 100 cm
  • Area of ​​a circle:
  • S \u003d 3.14 * 100 cm * 100 cm \u003d 31,400 cm 2 ≈ 3m 2
  • Given: d = 50 mm
  • Area of ​​a circle:
  • S \u003d ¼ * 3.14 * 50 mm * 50 mm \u003d 1 963 mm 2 ≈ 20 cm 2

If two radii are drawn in a circle different points circle, then two parts of the circle are formed, which are called sectors. If a chord is drawn in a circle, then the part of the plane between the arc and the chord is called circle segment.
