|---|---|
| Area | The measure of the interior surface of a two-dimensional figure. |
| Center | The point from which all points on a circle are the same distance. |
| Circle | The set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point called the center. |
| Circumference | The distance around a circle. |
| Composite Figure | A figure that is made up of two or more figures. |
| Diameter | The distance across a circle through its center. |
| Face | A flat surface of a polyhedron. |
| Lateral Face | In a polyhedron,a face that is not a base. |
