Term
Radius
Definition
the segment whose endpoints are any point on a circle or sphere and its center; the length of that segment
Term
Chord
Definition
a segment whose endpoints are on a circle
Term
Diameter
Definition
the segment whose endpoints are points on a circle (or sphere) that contains the center of the circle as its midpoint; the length of that segment
Term
Secant
Definition
a line that intersects the circle in two points
Term
Tangent
Definition
A line that intersects a circle in one point
Term
Point of tangency
Definition
The point at which the tangent touches the circle.
Term
Common tangent
Definition
Line, ray or segment that is tangent to two coplanar circles
Term
Proportional
Definition
An equation that states that two ratios are equal
Term
Vertical angles
Definition
Two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays
Term
Interior of an angle
Definition
All points between the sides of an angle
Term
Central angle
Definition
An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle
Term
Minor arc
Definition
Part of a circle that measures less than 180⁰
Term
Major arc
Definition
Major arc
Term
Central angle of circle
Definition
An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle
Term
Inscribed angle
Definition
An angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle
Term
Intercepted arc
Definition
The arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle
Term
Standard equation of a circle
Definition
A circle is all the points (x,y) that are "r" (radius) away from the center (a,b). SO… (x-a)2 + (y-b)2 = r2
Term
semicircle
Definition
An arc with endpoints that are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle. The measure is 180⁰
Term
Congruent arcs
Definition
Two arcs that have the same measure and are arcs of the same circle or of a congruent arc
Term
Coplanar circles
Definition
Circles intersect at no point, one point or two points
Term
Tangent circles
Definition
Coplanar circles that intersect in one point
Term
Concentric circles
Definition
Coplanar circles that have a common center
