A Circle is a closed 2D shape where all points on the boundary are at the same distance from a fixed interior point called the center. That fixed distance is called the radius.
Circle in Real Life:
- Wheels of a vehicle: Perfect circles where the radius is the distance from the center to the rim (spokes).
- Pizza slices: Each slice represents a sector of a circle formed by two radii and an arc.
- Dartboard: Made of multiple concentric circles sharing the same center point.
- Clock hands: The movement of hands forms arcs and sectors as time passes.
