| 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 |
| curcumference | 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 |
