If the curve is part of the circumference of the circle, it is called an arc.
a chord.
arc
A circle *encloses* an area, and the "area of a circle" is the area it encloses, πr^2. A circle is a 1-dimensional curved line; it is a set of points equidistant from a given point (the center), with that distance being the radius of the circle. This means the inside of the circle is not part of the circle (it's called a disk if you include the inside points).To find the area, multiply pi (π) by the radius squared (r^2), so you get πr^2.Yes, it does.
A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.
an arc
A part of a circle between two points on a circle is called is called an arc.
That shape is called a circle.
It could be an arc (a curved portion of the circumference), a chord (the straight line distance between two points) , or a wedge (the plane area bounded by two radii and an arc).Remember the circle is a plane figure, not the curved line we draw. " A circle is bounded ... ."
I may be outdated, but when I was in school we called that a line segment. I am assuming u mean a straight line. If it is a circle or other curved line, it is called an arc.
The line connecting the points is called a chord; the part of the perimeter of the circle enclosed is called an arc; the area between an arc and the chord is called a circular segment.
If the curve is part of the circumference of the circle, it is called an arc.
A chord and the diameter is the largest chord of a circle. A2. Remember, the circle is the bit inside the curved line, NOT the curved line. [A circle is bounded by ... .] From any two points on a circle, you could erect a variety of lines, of which the shortest for any given quest would be a straight line. The other natural line joining two points would be the arc joining two points on the perimeter of a circle. * * * * * Actually, I believe that a circle IS the curved line. A circle is defined as the locus of all points that are at a constant distance from a fixed point (the centre). This is the boundary of the circle, not its interior.
a chord.
A segment between two points on a circle is
In geometry, an arc is a curved portion of a circle. It is defined by two endpoints and the points along the circumference of the circle that lie between the endpoints. The measure of an arc is typically given in degrees.
Regardless of where you mark two points on a circle, there's only one possible line segment between them. It's called a "chord" of the circle.
