Circles! Arcs & Angles, Measurement
Arcs & Angles Circle Vocabulary Major Arc: Arc greater than 180⁰. Minor Arc: Arc less than 180⁰. Tangent: Line that intersects the circle at 1 point. Secant: Line that intersects the circle at 2 point. Chord: Segment whose endpoints are on the circle. Central Angle: Angle whose vertex is at the center. Inscribed Angle: Angle whose vertex is on the circle. DBA DA D AE DB C A DA E <BCA B <BDA
