Term
Circle
Definition

the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant (the length of the radius) from a given point called the center

Term
Chord
Definition

a segment in the interior of a circle whose endpoints are on the circle

 

 

 

Term
Diameter
Definition

a segment between two points on a circle passing through the center of the circle. 

 

 

 

Term
Secant Line
Definition

a line that intersects a circle at two points on the circle

 

 

 

Term
Tangent Line
Definition

a line that intersects the circle at exactly one point

 

 

 

Term
Tangent Theorem
Definition

If a line is tangent to a circle then the line is perpendicular to a radius of the circle drawn to the point of tangency.

Term
Congruent Tangents Theorem
Definition

If two segments are tangent to a circle from the same external point, then they are congruent.

 

Term
Arc
Definition

a connected section of the circumference of a circle; has a linear measurement and a degree measurement.

Term
Minor Arc
Definition

shorter of the two arcs; < 180o

Term
Major Arc
Definition

larger of the two arcs: > 180o

Term
Semicircle
Definition

an arc that measures 180o

Term
Sector of a Circle
Definition

the region of a circle formed by a central angle and its intercepted arc.

 

 

 

Term
Central Angle
Definition

an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle

 

 

 

Term
Arc Length Formula
Definition
Θ/360o(2πr)
Term
Inscribed Angle
Definition

an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and whose sides are chords of the circle.

 

 

 

Term
Intercepted Arc
Definition

formed when segments intersect portions of a circle

 

 

 

Term
Sphere
Definition

the set of all points in space that are equidistant from a center point.

 

Term
Volume of a Sphere Formula
Definition
V = 4/3πr3
Term
Surface Area of a Sphere Formula
Definition
SA = 4πr2
Term
Arc Measure
Definition

the degree measure of an arc; equal to the central angle that intercepts it
