Let us take a look at some of the Real- Life Applications where Circles are being used:
- Real- Life Application One
- This Picture shows a Ferris- Wheel.
- A ferris wheel is basically shaped like a wheel.
- Since most of these amusement rides are fairly large, the outer circle is not made from one piece of steel but rather several little arcs.
- The number of arcs is determines by the number of cars on the wheel.
Question:
- How long would the arc be between the cars if there were 12 cars on a 30-meter tall ferris wheel?
- Real- Life Application Two
In this Blog.. You will learn about the 4 Properties of Circles.
~ Chords of a Circle ~The Perpendicular bisector of a Chord of a Circle passes through the Centre of the Circle
Equal Chords of a Circle are Equildistant from the Centre of the Centre
The Perpendicular from the centre of a Circle to a Chord bisects the Chord
~ Angles in a Circle ~The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a Circle is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at the Circumference
An angle in a Semicircle is a Right- angle
The angles in the same segment of a Circle are equal
~ Angles in the Opposite Segments ~The sum of the angles in the Opposite Segments of a Circle is 180 degree
~ Tangents to a Circle ~A tangent of a Circle is perepndicular to the Radius of the Circle drawn from the point of Contact
