How Important are Circles?

Geometry is considered as a very important field of life because it is also used in our daily life. Circles are one of the main part of geometry. Below are some of the applications of circles in daily life are as follows:

The properties of circles are widely applied in construction of buildings and houses. Secondly, it is used in measurements with the help of rulers in creating maps. Thirdly, circles are very important in making building designs. These properties are also used to understand the circular tires on car. It is also used in designing playgrounds.

The construction of tunnels are closely related to circles. As we can see, tunnels are usually cylindrical in form. This is because tunnels are usually built underground or built through enormous mountains and it must be able to withstand the great amount of weight pressured upon it. Hence, applying the properties of circles is important for us to construct a perfect circle so that the constructed tunnels are more stable and safe to be used.

Besides, properties of circles doesn't only mean to construct structures that are circular in form. By using circle, we could acurately construct different kinds of polygons. With the help of circles, designs of products or buildings could be more and more creative and attractive.

Often, properties of circle are also used in calculations and measurements.

Example:

RF Transmitters

It is a method using circles to determine a position of an object instead of x-y coordinates.

Circles are amazing, aren't they?
