Class 7 ICSE Mathematics – Circle Chapter Notes

1. Introduction

A circle is a set of points in a plane that are all at an equal distance from a fixed point called the center. Circles are fundamental in geometry and have many properties and theorems used in various problems.

2. Basic Terms and Definitions

Center (O) – The fixed point from which all points on the circle are equidistant.
Radius (r) – The distance from the center to any point on the circle.
Diameter (d) – A line segment passing through the center with endpoints on the circle.
Formula: ( d = 2r )
Chord – A line segment connecting two points on the circle.
Arc – A portion of the circle’s circumference.
Circumference (C) – The perimeter of the circle.
Formula: ( C = 2\pi r )
Sector – A region enclosed by two radii and the arc between them.
Segment – A region enclosed by a chord and the corresponding arc.
Tangent – A line that touches the circle at exactly one point.
Secant – A line that intersects the circle at two points.

3. Important Properties of Circles

All radii of a circle are equal.
The diameter is the longest chord.
The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the center.
The angle subtended by a diameter at the circumference is a right angle (90°).

4. Theorems

Theorem 1: Angle at the Center

The angle subtended by an arc at the center of the circle is twice the angle subtended at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Formula:
[
\angle AOB = 2 \times \angle APB
]
Where ( O ) is the center, ( AB ) is a chord, and ( P ) is a point on the circle.

Theorem 2: Perpendicular from the Center to a Chord

The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Example:
If ( AB ) is a chord and ( O ) is the center, then ( OM \perp AB ) ⇒ ( AM = MB ).

Theorem 3: Angles in the Same Segment

Angles subtended by the same chord at the circumference are equal.

Example:
Chord ( AB ) subtends angles ( \angle APB = \angle AQB ) at points ( P ) and ( Q ) on the same side of ( AB ).

Theorem 4: Tangent and Radius

A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.

Example:
If ( PT ) is tangent at ( P ), then ( OP \perp PT ).

Theorem 5: Length of Tangent

The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

Formula:
[
PA = PB
]
Where ( P ) is the external point, and ( A, B ) are points of contact.

5. Important Formulas

Circumference of a Circle: ( C = 2 \pi r )
Area of a Circle: ( A = \pi r^2 )
Length of an Arc: ( l = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2 \pi r )
Area of a Sector: ( A_{\text{sector}} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 )
Area of a Segment: Area of sector – Area of triangle formed by the chord and radii

6. Constructions

Constructing a Circle with a Given Radius

Draw center ( O )
With a compass, mark the radius and draw the circle

Constructing Tangents from an External Point

Draw a circle
Join external point ( P ) to center ( O )
Draw perpendicular bisector to find points of contact

Constructing a Circle through Three Points

Draw perpendicular bisectors of any two chords
Intersection point is the center

7. Examples

Example 1:
A circle has a radius of 7 cm. Find its circumference and area.

Circumference: ( 2\pi r = 2 \times 3.14 \times 7 = 43.96 , \text{cm} )
Area: ( \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times 49 = 153.86 , \text{cm}^2 )

Example 2:
A tangent is drawn to a circle of radius 5 cm. Find the length of the tangent from an external point 13 cm from the center.

Length = ( \sqrt{13^2 – 5^2} = \sqrt{169 – 25} = \sqrt{144} = 12 , \text{cm} )

8. Key Points to Remember

Angle in a semicircle = 90°.

Class 7 ICSE Mathematics – Circle (Complete Super Master Notes)

1. Circle – Full Definition & Conceptual Notes

A circle is the set of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point called the center (O).
Radius (r): Distance from center to any point on the circle.
Diameter (d): ; passes through center; longest chord.
Chord: Line segment connecting two points on a circle.
Arc: Continuous part of circumference; minor arc < 180°, major arc > 180°.
Sector: Area bounded by two radii and an arc.
Segment: Area between a chord and corresponding arc.
Tangent: Line that touches the circle at only one point.
Secant: Line intersecting the circle at two points.
Locus: Set of points satisfying given conditions (used in constructions).

Extra ICSE Tip: Most “tricky” problems combine radius, chord, tangent, and angles – so visualize diagram first.
