- 1.The curved part of a circle's circumference, between two points on the circle, has its own name. Write down this name.
- 2.A circle has a radius of 3 cm. Work out the diameter of the circle.
- 3.A chord is drawn across a circle, dividing the circle into two regions. Write down the name of one of these two regions.
- 4.Every diameter of a circle is an example of a more general type of straight line joining two points on the circle. Which term names that more general type of line?
- 5.A circle has two straight radii drawn from the centre to the edge, together with the arc between them. Write down the name of the region enclosed by these two radii and the arc.
- 6.A sector of a circle is bounded by two straight edges and one curved edge. Write down the mathematical term for each of the two straight edges.
- 7.A chord divides a circle into two regions, one larger than the other. Write down the term used for the smaller of these two regions.
- 8.A straight line is drawn from the centre of a circle to a point on the circle. Write down the name of this line.
- 9.A line segment joins two points on the circumference of a circle, without necessarily passing through the centre. Write down the general term for this line segment.
- 10.Every point on a circle is exactly the same distance from one particular point. Write down the name of that point.
- 11.A diameter divides a circle into two equal halves. Write down the special name given to each of these two halves.
- 12.A circle has diameter 10 cm. Using π = 3.14, work out the circumference of the circle.
- 13.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Work out the radius of the circle.
- 14.Two points on a circle divide its circumference into two arcs of different lengths. Write down the name given to the shorter of the two arcs.
- 15.A circle has centre O. Radii OA and OB are drawn, together with the arc AB, enclosing a sector. The straight chord AB is also drawn. Write down the name of the region enclosed between the chord AB and the arc AB.
