Constructing CircleA circle is a perfectly round shape. Its formal definition is: "The set of all points in a plane that are at a fixed distance from a fixed point." Let's break that down: The Fixed Point: This is the Center of the circle. In the animation, it is the yellow dot The Fixed Distance: This is the Radius. In the animation, this is the light blue line. Now, let’s actually construct a circle of radius 3.2 cm Construct a circle of radius 3.2 cm Let’s follow these steps 1. Mark point O as center 2. Since radius is 3.2 cm, we measure 3.2 cm using ruler and compass 3. Now keeping compass opened the same length. We keep pointed end at the center, and draw a circle using the pencil end of the compass. So, this is the required circle with center O and radius OP = 3.2 cm
