  • Centre of a circle: The fixed point is called the centre of the circle.
  • The radius of a circle: The line segment joining the center and any point on the circle is called the radius of the circle. 
  • Circumference of a circle: The perimeter of the circle is called the circumference.
  • Chord of a circle: The line segment, joining any two points on the circumference of the circle, is called a chord
  • Sector of a circle: The region bounded by an arc and two radii, joining the centre to the endpoints of the arc, is called a sector.
  • A segment of a circle: The part of the circle bounded by an arc and a chord is called a segment.
