equal circles
those which have equal diameters or radii
a straight line is said to touch a circle
meeting the circle but does not cut the circle
circles are said to touch
meeting one another but not cutting one another
in a circle straight lines are said to be equally distant from the center when
the perpendiculars drawn to them from the center are equal
the straight line is said to be at a greater distance from the center
when it has a greater perpendicular from the center
a segment of a circle
is the figure contained by a straight line and a segment of the circumference
an angle of a segment is
that contained by a straight line and a circumference of a circle
an angle of a segment is
when 2 lines are connected from the base of the segment to a point on the circumference
a sector of a circle is
when an angle is constructed at the center of a circle and the lines touch the circumference
similar segments of circles are those which
have equal angles
