Circle

A circle is the set of points equidistant from a given point . The distance from the Center is called theRadius, and the point is called the Center. Twice the Radius is known as the Diameter. The Perimeter of a circle is called the Circumference, and is given by

The circle is a Conic Section obtained by the intersection of a Cone with a Plane Perpendicular tothe Cone's symmetry axis. A circle is the degenerate case of an Ellipse with equal semimajor and semiminoraxes (i.e., with Eccentricity 0). The interior of a circle is called a Disk. The generalization of a circleto 3-D is called a Sphere, and to

-D for

a Hypersphere.

The region of intersection of two circles is called a Lens. The region of intersection of three symmetricallyplaced circles (as in a Venn Diagram), in the special case of the center of each being located at the intersectionof the other two, is called a Reuleaux Triangle.

The parametric equations for a circle of Radius are

For a body moving uniformly around the circle,

When normalized, the former gives the equation for the unit Tangent Vector of the circle,

.The circle can also be parameterized by the rational functions

but an Elliptic Curve cannot. The following plots show a sequence of Normal andTangent Vectors for the circle.

The Arc Length , Curvature , and Tangential Angle of the circle are

The Cesàro Equation is

In Polar Coordinates, the equation of the circle has a particularly simple form.

In Pedal Coordinates with the Pedal Point at the center, the equation is

The equation of a circle passing through the three points for , 2, 3 (the Circumcircle of theTriangle determined by the points) is

(20)

The Center and Radius of this circle can be identified by assigning coefficients of a Quadratic Curve

(21)

where

and

(since there is no

cross term). Completing the Square gives

The Center can then be identified as

Four or more points which lie on a circle are said to be Concyclic. Three points are trivially concyclic sincethree noncollinear points determine a circle.

The Circumference-to-Diameter ratio for a circle is constant as the size of the circle is changed (asit must be since scaling a plane figure by a factor increases its Perimeter by ), and also scales by. This ratio is denoted (Pi), and has been proved Transcendental.With the Diameter and the Radius,

Knowing

, we can then compute the Area of the circle either geometrically or using Calculus. FromCalculus,

(31)

Now for a few geometrical derivations. Using concentric strips, we have

As the number of strips increases to infinity, we are left with a Triangle on the right, so

(32)

This derivation was first recorded by Archimedes

in Measurement of a Circle (ca. 225 BC

). If wecut the circle instead into wedges,

As the number of wedges increases to infinity, we are left with a Rectangle, so
