SUMMARY OF GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION (CIRCLE)
A circle can be defined as a plane figure bounded by a curved line called the circumference that is equidistant from the centre.
A circle is made up of the following parts: Diameter, Radius, An Arc, Chord, Tangent, A Segment, A Sector, A Quadrant and A Secant
The two main types of circles are Concentric circle and Eccentric circle
Division of circle into equal parts was treated in this chapter.
A tangent is a straight line that touches the circumference of a circle. It is usually at right angles to the radius of the circle.
A normal is a straight line which joins the center of a circle to the tangent at the point of tangency.
