Circle Geometry

First we started off with opening EUKLID DynaGeo. It is a good tool to use for circle geometry. Mr. Max started the lesson on Circle Geometry by asking us the most basic question... What is a Circle? a circle is a set of points in a 2D plane, such that all points are EQUIDISTANT from a centre point. We have to use the "Internet" to find the definitions to these circle words.

-Radius
-Diameter
-Circumference
-Chord
-Secant
-Tangent
-Minor/Major Arc
-Arc
-Segmant
-Sector
-Intercepted Arc
-Intercepted Angle
-Angle
-Central Angle
-Inscribed Angle
-Quadrilateral
-Cyclic Quadrilateral

...and we have to find what they are on a Diagram that Mr. Max created.
