Once the definition has been finished, steps to draw a circle with the help of a compass have been stated. With various markings on the circle, its diameter, exterior, interior, and sections have been shown. The congruence of two circles and their cords have been explained in the exercise. The chapter talks about the necessity of circles, how to find the circumference of a circle, and ways to draw different angles of it.
- A circle passes through three non-collinear points.
- The points arranged in a plane at a fixed distance from a fixed point form a circle.
- Further, the chapter highlights that the diameter is the longest chord and all diameters have the same length.
