THE CIRCLE THE CIRCLE
A circle is the locus of a point which moves, so that its distance from a fixed point, called the centre, is equal to a given distance.
The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the constant distance is called its radius. i.e.,
One. Standard equation of a circle
One. Standard equation of a circle
If the centre of circle is at origin and radius is a, then the equation of circle is given by
X squared plus Y squared equals a squared and this is also known as standard equation of circle.
In case the centre is a point H, K, and not origin then the equation of circle is given by
X minus H squared plus Y minus K squared equals a squared C P equals radius equals a according to constraint defined by circle distance
C P equals radius equals a implies X minus H squared plus Y minus K squared equals a squared P X, Y C H, K. This form is known as central form of equation of circle.
