We usually draw circles as solid lines. But a broken line could be used in some cases. In drafting (ex-mechanical drawing), we used broken lines to indicate features of the solid (on the particular projection) that were concealed in the view from that given projection. Let's try an example. Picture a cube about the size of Mr. Rubik's toys/puzzles. And it has a cylinder of material cut from one face down into the cube about half way. (It's a "blind" hole.) The cylinder has a diameter of about half the width of the cube (half the length of one edge). Can you see it? A cube with a "hole" in the center of it that does not extend all the way through but only goes half way. Now hold the cube so you are looking right down into the hole. Can you see it? Now turn the cube so you are looking right at the opposite face of the cube than the one with the hole in it. If you drew this projection of the cube, you'd draw a square, and then a circle in it laid out with a dashed line to denote that it does not appear on this projected surface but is "behind" it. (We probably wouldn't actually this projection, but this is just an example.) In "standard" geometric drawings, we usually use a solid line, But there will be instances of broken lines used to draw circles depending on the application. In art, the sky is the limit. Of course.

Fiat ducato vanWhat does the warning light which consists of a solid circle with a broken line down the left and right of the circle mean?
The warning light is in relation to worn brake pads and/or discs. Have just experienced the light on a works van. Strangly the same day that the pads and discs were changed.
What is a line through a circle that does not go through the center?
A line through a circle that does not go through the center of the circle is a secant line. A line through a circle that does go through the center is still a secant line, by the way. Compare this to a line segment that has its two endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is a cord of the circle. If that cord of the circle passes through the center of the circle, then the cord is a diameter of that circle.
What did the line say to the circle?
get off of me i'm a circle not a circle with a line through it
What is the difference between a broken line a solid line a double line and a white or yellow lines?
A broken line consists of dashes, and it indicates that passing is permitted in that stretch of road. A solid line remains unbroken, and indicates that passing is not permitted. Double lines serve a number of purposes. They may be present because permissions are different for opposing lanes, or they may be present to separate traffic. For example, there may be a stretch of road where a southbound lane is permitted to pass, but a northbound lane is not. Thus, there would be a double line, broken on the southbound side, and solid on the northbound side. As for the colours, white lines indicate that traffic on both sides of that line flow in the same direction, whereas lanes on opposite sides of a yellow line flow in opposing directions.
What is the straight line through the center of a circle called?
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.
What is the broken line circle?
The broken line circle is a circle which is situated 5 meters from the circle. If there is a foul against the attacking side less than 5 meter of the circle the ball has put back on the broken line circle and the free hit has to be taken from there.

What is the measure of the solid line angle depicted by the following figure?
90 degrees
When a solid and a broken yellow line are together you must not pass if you are next to the solid line. True or False?
No, if the solid line is on your side, you're not allowed to pass.
What does a solid circle and clear circled line mean in math terms?
If you are talking about a graph, a solid circle means that point, say (3,4), is included, and an open circle it is not included
What is the center of a two way road marked with?
Possibilities are: Single or Double white line, Single or Double yellow line, Solid white line next to broken white line, Solid yellow line next to broken white line, No line on rural country lane roads.
What color indicate the center of a two way road?
Possibilities are: Single or Double white line, Single or Double yellow line, Solid white line next to broken white line, Solid yellow line next to broken white line, No line on rural country lane roads.
What does a broken line on your side and a solid line on the other side mean?
The broken line on your side means you can cross over while the people in the other lane can't.
What is the measure of the solid line angle depicted by the following figure 180 degrees and 0 degrees?
270 degrees

Is it true or false that A solid yellow line to the right of a broken yellow line means passing or crossing is permitted in that lane?
false
