Question | Answer |
Arc | A part of the circumference. If the circle is split, the circumference is split into two arcs: the major arc is the arc that is longest while the minor arc is the shorter of the two. |
Chord | A line running across a circle that joins two points on it. |
Circumference | The perimeter of a circle. Equal to 2πr. |
Diameter | A chord through the centre of the circle. |
Radius | The distance from the centre of a circle to any point on its circumference. |
Sector | A region of a circle between two radii and their cut-off arc. |
Segment | A region in a circle between a chord and its cut-off arc. Like an arc, it is split into two: the major segment is the segment between the chord and the MAJOR arc while the minor segment is the segment between the chord and the MINOR arc. |
Tangent | A line touching one point of the outside of a circle (the point of contact.) |
