Page 2: Circles Honors Math – Grade 4. Circle A circle is a plane figure. All the points on a circle are the same distance from a given point, called the center

Circle

A circle is a plane figure.All the points on a circle

are the same distance from a given point, called the center.

Point A is the center of the circle

A

A circle is named by its center point.

Circle A

Practice Answers

1. Circle V. The center is point V.2. There are 3 diameters. PQ, RS, TW3. TS is not a radius because it does not

have an endpoint at the center of the circle and it is a chord.

4. VX is a radius because its endpoints are the center point V and point X on the circle.

5. There are 7 radii. VP, VS, VW, VQ, VX, VR, VT
