Solution

Determining the terms related to a circle.

The circle is defined as the set of all points in the plane that are the same distance away from the given point known as the center.

The circle is associated with the following terms:

  • Circumference: A circumference of a circle is indeed the distance around it.
  • Diameter: A straight line going through the circle and linking two locations on the periphery.
  • Radius: An straight line that begins in the center of a circle and finishes at the circle's perimeter.
  • Chord: A direct line whose ends are now on the circle's circumference. The diameter is the largest chord that may be formed.
  • Segment: It is indeed a section of a circle that is divided from the remainder of the circle by a chord.
  • Tangent: An tangent to a circle is a direct line that touches the circle at only one place (it doesn't cross the circle - it simply touches it).
  • Point of contact: A point where a tangent crosses a circle.
  • Arc: The portion of a circle's perimeter curvature.
  • An angle on a major arc: A larger of two angles formed whenever a circle is divided into two unequal sections. more than 180 degrees
  • The angle of center: An angle formed by two intersecting lines at the center of a triangle.

Hence, Circumference, Radius, Diameter, Chord, Segmentation, Tangent, Contact point, Arc, Angle of inclination on minor and major arcs, Angle of Centre, as well as Segments are all properties of circles.
