Is a circle a simple closed curve?
Technically, yes.
What is the difference between a small circle and a great circle?
A small circle is a simple circle on a two dimensional plane. The great circle is the circle around a sphere that is on the plane that intersects with the center of the sphere. It is the reason that on a flat map the paths of planes seem to curve to go to and from Europe and the North American continent.
What kind of curve ends at its starting point?
circle, compound curve, elipse . . . .
Can a circle be a parallelogram?
No, a circle can't be a parallelogram. A circle is a curve. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides constructed with four line segments. The line segments are straight, and the circle is a continuous curve.
What is a closed curve with all points on the curve an equal distance from a given point?
circle
Is a circle a simple closed curve?
Technically, yes.
Does a simple curve cross over itself?
No.A path C is simple if it doesn't cross itself. A circle is a simple curve while a figure 8 type curve is not simple. (http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/FundThmLineIntegrals.aspx)
What is Difference between simple curve and simple closed curve?
simple curve is a curve which doesnot cross itself,it neednot be closed....... but a simple closed curve is a curve which is simple and also closed. every simple closed curve is a simple curve but not vice versa.
What is the curve between 2 points in a circle called?
If the curve is part of the circumference of the circle, it is called an arc.
Can the chord of any circle or oval be rounded like the outer edge of the circle or oval?
No, it cannot. A chord of a circle is a line segmentwhich has its endpoints on the curve (or circumference) of the circle. A line segment is part of a line, and a line is straight. It's that simple.
How many line segments does a circle have?
A circle doesn't have line segments. It is a curve, not made up of straight lines.A circle doesn't have line segments.

What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.

What conic sections describes a closed curve?
An ellipse is a conic section which is a closed curve. A circle is a special case of an ellipse.
What is part of a circle or the curve between two points on a circle?
An arc is part of the circumference of a circle
