Circles Flashcards
Circle
Set of all points in the plane at a fixed distance(radius) from a fixed point(center)
Radius
Segment in which one endpoint is the center of the circle and the other endpoint is on the circle
Concentric
Coplanar circles with the same center
Chord
Segment whose endpoints are on the circle
Diameter
Chord that contains the center of the circle
Central angle
Angle whose vertex is the center of the circle
In a circle the degree measure of a central angle is equal to the degree measure of its intercepted arc
Inscribed angle
Angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle
The measure of an inscribed circle is half the measure of its intercepted arc
Secant line
Line that intersects a circle in exactly two points
Tangent line
Line that intersects a circle in exactly one point
Inscribed quad
Opposite angles are supplementary
