Added parametric equation for a circle
Line 7: Line 7:  
:<math>(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2</math>,
 
:<math>(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2</math>,
 
where <math>(a,b)</math> is the center of the circle.
 
where <math>(a,b)</math> is the center of the circle.

It can also be described parametrically in terms of a parameter <math>t</math> as:
 +
 +
:<math>x = a + r \cos{t}</math>
 +
:<math>y = b + r \sin{t}</math>
    
The distance around the circle, or [[circumference]], is given by:
