All About Circles
Circles are everywhere!
OP is the radius of the circle

Do circles have more than one radius? Yes! They have many radii!
The diameter= 2 times the radius AB is the diameter
diameter: the longest distance from one end of a circle to the other.
If OB is 8, what is the length of AB?
CD is a Chord !
chord: a line segment within a circle that touches 2 points o n the circle.
FZ is a Tangent
tangent of circle: a line perpendicular to the radius that touches ONLY one point on the circle
Angle OFC = 90 degrees !
line MR is a Secant
