| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Center | A given point from which a circle is drawn |
| Circle | The set of all points equidistant from a specific point |
| Radius | (1/2 the diameter) a segment whose endpoints are the center and any point on the circle |
| Chord | A segment whose endpoints are in a circle |
| Diameter | (2x the radius) A chord that contains the center of a circle |
| Secant | a line that intersects a circle in 2 points |
| Tangent | a line, ray, or segment that intersects a circle in exactly 1 point, called the point of tangency |
| Central angle | an angle whose vertex is the center of a circle |
| Arc | an unbroken part of a circle |
| Semicircle | an arc whose endpoints are the endpoints of the diameter. |
| Minor angle | an arc made by a central angle -180 degrees |
| Major angle | an arc made by a central angle 180+ degrees |
| Congruent Circles | Circles with congruent radii |
| Congruent arcs | 2 arcs that have the same measure and are arcs of the same circle or of congruent circles. |
| Inscribed angle | an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contains chords of the circle |
| Intercepted arc | an arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle. |
| Inscribed polygon | a polygon in which all vertices lie on an angle |
| Circumscribed circle | a circle that contains an inscribed polygon |
