Above is a picture of a circle. See those two lines? The short ones the radius and the long one the diameter. The actual line making the circle is called the circumference. The line below the circle is called a tangent. Read on

"Ah. This looks familiar. I seem to remember seeing this somewhere before. But its got different labels" Thats right. The diagram tells you some different parts of the circle. STUDY IT! Please. Oh, and you pronounce chord "cord".
Here are some important things to remember about the circle in GCSE, theyll win you marks.
To
find out the area and circumference of a circle, you need to
use a special number called p(pronounced
pie). This number is about 3.141592654(from memory!) and you must multiply
it by the square of the radius to find the area of a circle. To find the circumference
of a circle you need to multiply pi(the English way of spelling it) by 2 times
the radius, which is, as we all know(hopefully), the diameter.
The angle hanging down from an arc at the centre of a circle is always double that of the angle hanging down from the arc at the circumference (or subtended by an arc if you're a superbrain!). See below:
