This document defines key terms related to circles such as radius, diameter, chord, secant, and tangent. It explains that a circle is the set of points in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed center point. A compass is used to draw a circle, and the diameter of a circle is twice as long as the radius. A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle but do not pass through the center, while a tangent touches the circle at only one point.
