standard_description: Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Based on the definition of each feature of a circle below, label the circle with the appropriate vocabulary words.
Arc:
Part of any curve
Central angle:
An angle formed by two radii with the vertex as the center of the circle
Chord:
A line segment containing two points on a curve
Diameter:
A line segment connecting two points on a curve that passes through the center of the circle
Radius:
A line segment that connects the center of a circle and a point on the circle
Tangent:
A line that intersect a circle at one and only one point
