It is a chord that passes through the center of the circle. It is the longest chord of a circle and its length is twice as long as its radius.

• radius

• diameter

• chord

• tangent

It is a line, a segment, or a ray that intersects a circle at exactly two points.

• chord

• diameter

• tangent

• secant

It is a line, a segment, or a ray that intersects a circle at exactly one point, and the point of intersection is called the point of tangency.

• tangent

• secant

• radius

• diameter

It is a part of a circle between any two points. It is measured in terms of degrees.

• circle

It is an angle formed by two radii and its vertex is the center of the circle.

• inscribed angle

• intercepted arc

• central angle

• sector of a circle

It is an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and the sides contain chords of the circle.
