Definition of a circle

Set of points equidistant from a fixed centre point

Equation of circle centred at origin

x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2

Theorem used to derive circle equation

Pythagoras' theorem

x-intercepts of circle x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2

(pmr,0)(pm r, 0)

y-intercepts of circle x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2

(0,pmr)(0, pm r)

Upper semicircle equation

y=sqrtr2x2y = sqrt{r^2 - x^2}

Lower semicircle equation

y=sqrtr2x2y = -sqrt{r^2 - x^2}

Right semicircle equation

x=sqrtr2y2x = sqrt{r^2 - y^2}

Left semicircle equation

x=sqrtr2y2x = -sqrt{r^2 - y^2}

Definition of a semicircle
