| major arc | An arc that measures more than 180° |
| minor arc | An arc that measures less than 180° |
| semicircle | An arc that measures 180° |
| secant | A line that intersects the circle at two points |
| tangent | A line that intersects the circle at exactly one point |
| inscribed angle | An angle whose vertex is on the circle; its measure is half of the central angle that forms the same arc |
| central angle | An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle |
| diameter | A chord that passes through the center |
| chord | A line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle |

| Obtuse angle | an angle measure greater than 90 |
| Acute angle | an angle measure less than 90 |
| Corresponding Angles | Pairs of angles that are congruent |
| Alternate Interior Angles | Pairs of angles that are congruent and lie between the parallel lines |
| Alternate Exterior Angles | Pairs of angles that are congruent and lie outside the parallel lines |
| Vertical Angles | Opposite angles formed by intersecting lines, which are congruen |

| Reflex angle | An angle measure greater than 180° and less than 360° |
| Interior points | All points in the plane between the two rays of an angle |
| Exterior points | All points in the plane that are not part of the angle or its interior |
| Parallel Lines | lines that extend in the same direction(s) and are the same distance apart |
| Perpendicular lines | Lines that form 4 right angles |
