Question
Answer
chord   segment with endpoints on the circle  
🗑
circle   set of points in a plane that are equidistant to a given point  
🗑
radius   segment with one endpoint on center of circle and one endpoint on circle  
🗑
diameter   a chord that passes through the center of the circle  
🗑
tangent   line that intersects the circle at one point  
🗑
minor arc   an arc smaller than a semicircle  
🗑
semicircle   an arc that measures 180 degrees  
🗑
arc   part of a circle  
🗑
major arc   an arc greater than a semicircle  
🗑
congruent circles   circles with the same sized radius  
🗑
concentric circles   non-congruent circles that share the same center  
🗑
central angle   angle that has its vertex at the center of the circle  
🗑
inscribed circle   angle that has its vertex on the circle and its sides are chords  
🗑
CHORD CENTRAL ANGLES CONJECTURE   If two chords in a circle are congruent, then they determine two central angles that are congruent.  
🗑
CHORD ARCS CONJECTURE   If two chords in a circle are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent.  
🗑
PERPENDICULAR TO A CHORD CONJECTURE   The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord is the bisector of the chord.  
🗑
CHORD DISTANCE TO CENTER CONJECTURE   Two congruent chords in a circle are equididstant from the center of the circle.  
🗑
PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR OF A CHORD CONJECTURE   The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.  
🗑
TANGENT CONJECTURE   A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.  
🗑
TANGENT SEGMENTS CONJECTURE   Tangent segments to a circle from a point outside the circle are congruent.  
🗑
tangent circles   circles that are tangent to the same line at the same point  
🗑
