Re: GMAT Circles
Hello, here I am providing you the details of the circles section of the GMAT exam as under: Circles - GMAT Contents: Definitions Properties of a Circle Formulas for Circles Arcs & Sectors Arcs Sectors Inscribed Angle & Central Angle Inscribed Triangle Inscribed Circles & Circumscribed Circles Inscribed Circles Circumscribed Circles Types of GMAT Problems Definitions Circle - An infinite set of points that are all equidistant from a point called the center. Circumference - The edge (or boundary) of a circle. Radius - A line from the center of a circle to the edge of the circle. Diameter - A line that passes through the center of the circle and has its endpoints at the edge of the circle. Chord - A line that lies within the circle and connects two points on the edge of the circle. Central Angle - An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle. Arc - A portion of the circumference of a circle (i.e., a segment of the edge of a circle). Sector of a Circle - A slice (or sliver) of the circle enclosed on one side by the edge of the circle and on the other sides by radii. Center of a Circle - The point in a circle from which all points on the edge of the circle are equidistant. Circumscribed Circle - A circle that encompasses (or surrounds from the outside) a polygon such that the circle's circumference intersects the vertices of the polygon. Inscribed Circle - An inscribed circle is a circle that lies inside a figure such that points on the edge of the circle are tangent to the sides of the figure. Concentric Circles - Circles with the same center point but not necessarily the same radius length. Formulas for Circles Area = πr2 Diameter, d = 2r Circumference = 2πr = πd Central Angle = 2(Inscribed Angle) Area of Sector = (x/360)πr2 Length of an Arc = (x/360) Circumference = (x/360)2πr |
