Understanding Circles

The video tutorial introduces the concept of circles, explaining various parts such as the center, radius, chords, diameter, arcs, semicircles, and circumference. It defines a circle as a closed figure with all points equidistant from a fixed point, the center. The radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circle, while a chord is a line segment joining two points on the circle. The longest chord, passing through the center, is the diameter. Arcs are parts of the circle's boundary, with a semicircle being half of the circle. The circumference is the total length of the circle's boundary.
