Concept:

The concept of tangents, sectors, angles, the chord of a circle, and proofs are all included in the circle theorem. All points in a plane that are equally far from a fixed point are located in a circle. The radius of a circle is the constant distance from any point on the circle to its fixed point, which is referred to as the center of the circle. A circle's circumference is also referred to as its perimeter, and its area is the space a circle takes up in a plane. Any point on a circle, including the point of contact, has a tangent that is perpendicular to the radius.
