INTHO TO CIACLES/TANGENTS GSA - Investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships, including special segments and angles of circles choosing from a variety of tools. GA2A - Apply theorems about circles, inciuding relationships among angles, radii, chords, tangents, and secants, to solve non-contextual problems. Parts of GRCLeS Dictionary center and on the circle Circle Aset of points equidistant from a given point called the center Rad ius A segment with endpoints at the Chord Asegment with endpoints on the circle ; A chord that passes through the Diameter center; always twice the radius Secant Aline that intersects a circle in exactly two places Tangent Aline that intersects a circle at exactly one point Point of Tangency The point at which a tangent line intersects a circle Central Angle ‘An angle with a vertex at the center with two sides that are radii Inscribed Angle An angle with a vertex on the circle with two sides that are chords Arc A portion of the edge of the circle defined by two endpoints: Symbol > Minor Arc An arc with a measure that is LESS: THAN 180° "use 2 letters to define* Major Arc.
