Radius
The set of all points in a plane at a given distance from a given point
Circle
Line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle
Chord
Largest chord
Diameter
Line segment that passes through the center
Diameter
Line that touches the circle in only one place on the outside
Tangent line
Two or more circles that have the same radius
Congruent circles
Two or more coplanar circles that share the same center
Concentric circles
Two points on the circle and a continuous part of the circle between the points
Arc
Arc of a circle whose endpoints are the endpoints of the diameter
Semicircle
Arc of a circle that is smaller than a semicircle
Minor arc
Arc of a circle that is bigger than a semicircle
Major arc
The measure of the central angle that intercepts an arc
Arc measure
An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle and whose sides pass through the endpoints of an arc
Central angle
Segment that touches the circle in only one place
Tangent segment
