Circles - Area and Circumference

Front

What is a circle?

Back

A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are a fixed distance (radius) from a center point.

Front

What is the radius of a circle?

Back

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference.

Front

What is the diameter of a circle?

Back

The diameter is the distance across the circle through the center, equal to twice the radius.
