FAQs on Circles (Exercise 14.1) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 6

1. What are the properties of a circle?
Ans. A circle is a closed figure made up of all points equidistant from a fixed point called the center. The properties of a circle include: - All radii of a circle are congruent. - The diameter is twice the length of the radius. - The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. - The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius.
2. How do you find the circumference of a circle?
Ans. The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle. Simply multiply the radius by 2π to get the circumference.
3. What is the relationship between the diameter and radius of a circle?
Ans. The diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius. In other words, if r is the radius of a circle, then the diameter is 2r. Conversely, if d is the diameter of a circle, then the radius is d/2.
4. How do you find the area of a circle?
Ans. The area of a circle can be found using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle. Simply square the radius and multiply it by π to get the area.
5. What is the difference between a circle and a sphere?
Ans. A circle is a two-dimensional shape that lies completely in a plane, while a sphere is a three-dimensional shape that extends in all directions from a central point. A circle has a circumference and area, whereas a sphere has a surface area and volume.
