IMPORTANT TERMS
A circle is the set of all points that are equidistant from the center.  Circles are named by their centers.

A tangent is a LINE that intersects the circle at ONE point.
A secant is a LINE that intersects the circle at TWO points.
A chord is a SEGMENT that intersects the circle at TWO points.
A diameter is a CHORD that contains the center of the circle.
An arc contains points on the circle and can be measured by its rotation(degrees) or length(cm, in, mi . . .etc).

Notice that minor arcs are named with 2 points on the circle and major arcs and semicircles are named with 3 points on the circle. 

From p. 455 in your online textbook:
Circles can be tangent to each other if they share a single point.  

An intercepted arc is an arc that lies in the interior of the angle with endpoints that lie on the sides of the angle.

A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on the circle.
