Overview

A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane at a given distance from a given point, i.e. the center. In this way, a circle is characterized by its center and radius, the distance from the center to any point of the circle. The perimeter of a circle is known as its circumference.

On the cartesian, the equation of a circle with radius r and center \langle h, k \rangle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2.

Such a circle has circumference 2\pi r and area \pi r^2. A continuous segment along the circumference of a circle is called an arc.
