Two circles are concentric if they have the same center.

This is true. Think about the roots "con-" and "centric" in the word concentric. The word "connect" shares that "con-" prefix, so you know it has something to do with things being shared or associated. And "centric" fairly intuitively suggests a center, so together those meanings suggest that "concentric" means "shared center."
