# Properties of Circles **Key Properties:** - **Constant radius**: All points on a circle are equidistant from the center - **Diameter = 2 × radius**: The diameter is the longest chord - **Circumference = 2πr**: The distance around the circle - **Area = πr²**: The space enclosed by the circle - **Infinite lines of symmetry**: Every diameter is a line of symmetry - **360° rotation**: A full circle contains 360 degrees ## Common Misconception **"Circumference and area use the same formula"** Many students confuse or conflate the formulas for circumference (2πr or πd) and area (πr²). They might: - Use πr for circumference (forgetting the 2) - Use 2πr² for area (incorrectly adding the 2) - Not understand that circumference is one-dimensional (length) while area is two-dimensional (space) **Why it happens**: Both formulas use π and r, making them easy to mix up without understanding what each measures.
