The document defines key terms related to circles such as radius, circumference, chord, diameter, arc, and sector. It explains that a circle is a collection of points equidistant from a fixed center point and defines the radius as the segment from the center to the edge. The circumference is the distance around the entire circle. Two circles are congruent if their radii are the same measure and concentric if they share the same center. A chord connects two edge points, a diameter passes through the center, and an arc is part of the edge between two points. A sector is the region between two radii and their connecting arc.
