Standard Equation

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
  • Center: (h, k), Radius: r
  • Key Formulas

    Circumference = 2πr | Area = πr²
    Arc length = (θ/360) × 2πr | Sector area = (θ/360) × πr²

    SAT Question Types

  • Find center and radius from equation (may need to complete the square)
  • Arc length and sector area
  • Tangent lines are perpendicular to radius at point of tangency
  • Central angle = arc measure
  • Radians

    180° = π radians | θ(rad) = θ(deg) × π/180
