A randomly deformed circle has no specific name. A circle can be deformed into an ellipse (also known as an oval).
An ellipse has two distinct "centres", called foci. The shape consists of the locus of points such that the sum of the distance from these points to the two foci is a constant.

Why is the circumference alsways 3.14?
The circumference is not always 3.14 , The circumference of a circle is always (pi) times as long as the circle's diameter. (Pi) is a number that can't be exactly written down with digits, that begins with 3.14 . It's defined as the ratio of any circle's circumference to the same circle's diameter. The reason is because that's one of the properties of the thing that we call a "circle".
How do you draw a tangent to a circle from a point on its circumference?
Short instructions:Construct the diameter of the circle at the tangent point Construct a line at right angles to the diameter at the tangent point. this is a tangent to the circle at that point.Detailed instructions with compass and straight edge:Given: circle C with a point T on the circumference Sought: Tangent to C at TFind the center circle CPlace the needle of the compass on the (circumference of) circle C (anywhere), draw a circle [circle 1] (I think circle 1 has to be smaller than twice the diameter of circle C).Without changing the compass size, place the needle of the compass on the intersection of circles C and circle 1, draw a circle (circle 2)Without changing the compass size, place the needle of the compass on the other intersection of circles C and circle 1, draw a circle (circle 3)Connect the intersections of circle 1 and circle 2 (one is outside and one inside circle A) this we call [ line 1]Connect the intersections of circle 2 and circle 3 (also here one is outside and one inside C) [line 2]The intersection of line 1 and Line 2 is [O]. This is the center of circle CDraw a line [line 3] from [O] through [T] and beyondConstruct the diameter of the circle at [T] (the point for the tangent) and extend it beyond the circumference of circle C With your compass needle at [T] mark off equal distances on [line 3] inside and outside circle C. We call these points [4] & [5]Increase the compass size somewhat and with the needle at [4] draw a circle [circle 4]Without changing the compass draw [circle 5] centered on [5]Construct a line perpendicular to line 3 at [T]The line through the intersections of circle 4 and circle 5 is the sought tangent at [T]Note: although the instructions say "draw a circle" often it is sufficient to just mark a short arc of the circle at the appropriate place. This will keep the drawing cleaner and easier to interpret.
How do you find radius if you know the chord?
well,first the radius is half of the chord. Radius is the distance from the circle centre to the chord end. The chord is the line joining the ends of the arc. Draw this line. Call the distance from the arc of the circle at its deepest point to the mid point of the chord "c". If extended, this line will go throught the centre of the circle. Call half the length of the chord "y". Then the properties of circles and chords is that c(d-c)=y2 where d is the circle diameter, so that d = y2/c + c. And then radius is half that.
What is the radius of a circle if the area is 1256 square meters?
Area of a circle = pi*r2 1256 m2 pi * r2 1256/pi = r2 sqrt(399.797) = r = 19.99 meters ==============Could call this 20 meters in radius.
A quarter of a circle plus an eight of a circle is what percent of a circle?
A quarter of a circle is 2/8 of a circle. Add to that an eighth (1/8) of a circle (not eight) and this equals 3/8 of a circle. This equates to 37.5 % of a circle.
