Question

Observe the given figure and fill in the blank:

The arc $D T E$ is called _____ of the circle.

Accepted Answer

A circle can have different parts and based on the position and shape, these can be named as follows:

Centre

Radius

Diameter

Circumference

Tangent

Secant

Chord

Arc

Segment

Sector

A part of a circumference of the circle is known as an arc.

$P Q$ is an arc of the circle.

A line segment joining two different points on the circumference of a circle is called a chord of the circle.

A line touching the circle at one single point is known as the tangent to the circle.

A chord passing through a centre of the circle is known as the diameter of the circle and it is the largest chord of the circle.

The circumference of a circle can be defined as the distance around it.

Part of a circle bounded by a chord and an arc is known as a segment of the circle.

A sector of a circle is the part bounded by two radii and an arc of a circle.

A circle is a set of all points which are equally spaced from a fixed point in a plane. The fixed point is called the center of the circle. The distance between the center and any point on the circumference is called the radius of the circle.

Hence, the arc $D T E$ is called diameter of the circle.

Observe the given figure and fill in the blank:

The arc $D T E$ is called _____ of the circle.
