Definition and
Equation of a Circle
2
Have you ridden a Ferris
wheel before? One
distinguishable fact
about this ride is that it
is circular in shape and
the points along the
outer rim of the wheel
have equal distances
from the center.
Learning Competencies
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to do the
following:
3
● Define a circle (STEM-PC11AG-1a-2).
● Determine the standard form of equation of
a circle (STEM-PC11AG-1a-3).
Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to do the
following:
4
● Define a circle.
● Determine the equation of a circle given its center and
radius and vice versa.
● Convert the general equation of a circle into its standard
form and vice versa.
● Solve situational problems involving circle.
5
When can we say that a figure is
a circle?
6
Recall that a circle is formed
when a plane perpendicular
to the axis intersects a
double-napped cone.
Circle
7
The set of points in a plane,
which are all equidistant
from a given point, called
the center, forms a circle.

8
Any segment with endpoints
at the center and a point on
the circle is a radius of the
circle.

How do you represent the
equation of a circle?
11
Any segment with endpoints
at the center and a point on
the circle is a radius () of the

12
Given the coordinates of a
point on the circle as and the
center of the circle at may be
calculated using the distance
formula.

13
Squaring both sides of the equation used to calculate the
radius, we get the standard form of equation of a circle
given by
