diameter
radius
central angle
A line segment whose endpoints are on the circle and includes the center of the circle.
A line segment which has one endpoint on the circle and the other on the center of the circle.
An angle whose vertex is on the center of the circle, and whose sides intersect the circle.

Theorem
Theorem
If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.
If a line is perpendicular to a radius at a point on the circle, then it is tangent to the circle.
