RADIUS

A straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle


\bar{PB}=radius

DIAMETER

A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body(circle)


\bar{EB}=diameter

CHORD

The chord of a circle can be defined as the line segment joining any two points on the circumference of the circle.


\bar{DA}=chord

TANGENT

The tangent to a circle is defined as a straight line that touches the circle at a single point.
