- A circle is nothing but a round closed shape consisting of various points on it's circumference, which are equidistant from a fixed point that is its centre point.

- An arc is a closed segment of a circle. It is determined by a pair of points on the circle. θ\thetaθ is the measurement of the angle between the two ends of the arc. L is the le…
