A circle is defined as the set of all points equidistant from a given center point. The radius is the distance from the center to the edge, the diameter starts at one side, goes through the center, and ends on the other side, and the circumference is the distance around the edge. Key lines related to a circle include chords, diameters, tangents, and arcs. Circles can also be divided into sectors such as quadrants and semicircles.

- 2. What is the Circle? A circle is… The set of all points equidistant from a given point. The point from which all the points on a circle are equidistant is called the center of circle.
- 3. Radius, Diameter, and Circumference The Radius is the distance from the center to the edge. The Diameter starts at one side of the circle, goes through the center and ends on the other side. The Circumference is the distance around the edge of the circle.
- 4. Lines Chord A segment whose endpoints are on circle Center The point from which all points on a circle are equidistant Diameter A chord that intersects with the center of a center Tangent A line that "just touches" the circle as it passes Arc Two endpoints on a circle and all of the points on the circle between those two endpoindts/Part of the circumference
- 5. Slices Sectors A region inside a circle bounded by a central angle and the minor arc whose endpoints intersect with the rays that compose the central angle Segment The slice made by a chord
- 6. Common Sectors Quadrant Quarter of a circle Semicircle Half a circle
- 7. Another terms Central Angle An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle Circumscribed Polygon A polygon whose segments are tangent to a circle Concentric Circles Circles that share a center Equidistant The same distance. Objects can be equidistant from one another Inscribed Polygon A polygon whose vertices intersect with a circle Major Arc An arc greater than 180 degrees Minor Arc An arc less than 180 degrees Point of Tangency The point of intersection between a circle and its tangent line or tangent segment Secant Line A line that intersects with a circle at two points Tangent Segment A segment with one endpoint at the point of tangency of a circle and the other endpoint of the tangent line
