What is the difference between spherical and circle?
A sphere is a three dimentional shape, a circle is a two dimentional shape. You can't pick up a circle, it can only be drawn. In differential geometry, a one dimensional sphere is a point, a two dimensional sphere is a circle and a three dimensional sphere is what we call a "sphere", there is no limit to the number of dimensions a sphere can have.
A circle drawn around a polygon so that each vertex of the polygon lies on the circle?
Circumscribed.
What is a Chords in circles?
A chord is a straight line drawn through a circle which divides the circle into two parts. The line can be drawn anywhere in the circle EXCEPT the center where it becomes the diameter.
Is it draw a circle round or around athe correct answer?
Both usages are correct, as in these examples: "A circle is round, so it is drawn round." "I drew a circle around the correct answer."
How many diameters of a circle can be drawn?
There are infinite diameters within a circle.
Which projection is the great circle chart?
A Great Circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on any sphere. Mercator's Chart projection is the great circle chart.
What is a great cicle?
Much bigger and better than a regular circle... But seriously, a great circle on a sphere is a circle that runs along the surface of that sphere and cuts it into two equal halves. It is the largest circle that can be drawn on a given sphere. The center of any great circle is the center of the sphere.
What is the largest circle that can be drawn around a sphere such as a globe?
That's called a "great circle" of the sphere. -- It's any circle whose center is at the center of the sphere. -- Its diameter is equal to the diameter of the sphere. -- Its area is equal to 1/4 the surface area of the sphere. -- The shortest distance between any two points on the sphere is along the piece of the great circle on which they lie. (There's only one, unless the two points are the opposite ends of a diameter.)
Can there be a straight circle?
Circle in 2D is a straight figure drawn on a plane. But if we take it as a sphere,it cannot be straight.

What figures are plane figures?
ones that can be drawn in the plane such as a triangle, circle, etc. A sphere is not one.
What is the symbol for anarchist?

What is the ratio of the area of a circle to the area of a square drawn around that circle?
The ratio is pi/4.

4 circles are drawn inside a big circle of radius 10 cm in such a way that there is no overlaping and all 4 are equal in size what is the radius of the largest circle that you can draw in the middle?
The radius of the largest circle you can fit is 2.72cm
