Circle 01

1) The document discusses basic terms related to circles such as radius, diameter, circumference, arcs, chords, and sectors. 2) It explains properties of chords, including that any perpendicular bisector of a chord will pass through the center of the circle and that equal chords are equidistant from the center. 3) Examples are provided to demonstrate how to find the radius or distance to the center given information about chords.
