SYNOPSIS

▪ Perimeter (circumference) of a circle with diameter d (d = 2r, where r is the radius) is

given by C = πd = 2πr

▪ Perimeter of semicircle with radius r = 2r + r = r ( + 2)

▪ Area of a circle with radius r is given by A = r .

▪ Area of a ring whose outer and inner radii are R and r respectively
( )
=  R 2 − r 2 =  (R + r )(R − r )

▪ If two circles touch internally, then the distance between their centres is equal to the
difference of their radii.

▪ If two circles touch externally, then the distance between their centres is equal the
sum of their radii.

▪ The distance moved by a rotating wheel in one revolution is equal to the

circumference of the wheel.

▪ The number of revolutions completed by a rotating wheel in one minute:

▪ Minor sector: A sector of a circle is called a minor sector if the minor arc
of the circle is a part of its boundary. In the figure above minor sector is OACB.

▪ Major sector: A sector of a circle is called a major sector, if the major arc of the circle
is a part of its boundary. In the above figure, OADB is the major sector.
▪ The sum of the arcs of major and minor sectors of a circle is equal to the
circumference of the circle.

▪ The sum of the areas of major and minor sectors of a circle is equal to the area of the
circle.
