This document defines key terms related to circles such as radius, chord, and diameter. It explains that a circle is a collection of points equidistant from the center point, and the radius is the line from the center to any point on the boundary. It also defines a chord as a line between two points on the circle boundary, and notes that the diameter passes through the center. Finally, it provides the Pythagorean theorem formula to calculate the length of a chord based on the radius and perpendicular distance from the center.
