TERMS RELATED
TO CIRCLE
Line Segments
Chord - line segment whose end points
are on the circle.
Example: AC, BE, CD
Diameter - a chord that passes through
the center.
Example: BE
Radius - half of a diameter.
Example: BZ, EZ
Lines
Secant - line that intersects the circle at two
distinct points.
Example: BH, CF
secant segment - a line segment of secant line.
Example: BH, CF
exterior secant - part of the secant segment
outside the circle.
Example: AB, CD, GH, EF
interior secant - part of the secant segment
inside the circle.
Example: DE, AG
Lines

Tangent - line that intersects the


circle at exactly one (1) point.
Example: BS, AN
point of tangency - point on the
circle intersected by the tangent
line.
Example: T, X
Angles

Central angle - angle whose vertex


is at the center of the circle and
legs are radii.
Example: ∠JZA, ∠BZD, ∠AZB, ∠JZD
Angles

Inscribed angle - angle whose vertex


is on the circle and legs are chords.
Example: ∠JDA, ∠MBN
