Given:

A circle with a center at C.

Required:

We need to find the names of the given parts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that radius is a line segment extending from the center of a circle to the circumference.

Line segment AC extends from the center C of a circle to the circumference.


AC=Radius

Recall that the arc of a circle is defined as the part of the circumference of a circle.

AE is the part of the circumference of a circle.


AE=Arc

Recall that a straight line segment joins and is included between two points on a circle.

D and E are two points on a circle.

A straight line DE line segment joins and is included between two points D and E on a circle.


DE=Chord

Recall that meeting a curve or surface in a single point if a sufficiently small interval is considered a straight line tangent to a curve.

AB is tangent.


AB=Tangent

Recall that an inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex "on" the circle, formed by two intersecting chords.


\measuredangle ADE=\text{ Inscribed angle.}

Recall that a central angle is an angle formed by two radii with the vertex at the center of the circle.


\measuredangle ACE=\text{ Central angle}

Recall that an angle formed by an intersecting tangent and chord has its vertex "on" the circle.


\measuredangle\measuredangle CAB=\text{ Tangent Chord Angle}

Final answer:


AC=Radius


AE=Arc


DE=Chord


AB=Tangent


\measuredangle ADE=\text{ Inscribed angle.}


\measuredangle ACE=\text{ Central angle}


\measuredangle\measuredangle CAB=\text{ Tangent Chord Angle}
