1.7: Circles
A circle is the set of points in a plane at a given distance ( radius) from a given point (center). You name a circle by its center. The circle on the bicycle wheel with center O, is called circle O. Radius: segment from the center to a point on the edge of the circle.
Circle Terms
Point on Tangency: The point where the tangent touches the circle. Example: point B, and point C.
. R
S
. . Secant: Is a line that intersects the circle twice: 𝑹𝑺
Congruent Circles: Circles with the same radius.
Concentric Circles: Coplanar circles with the same center.

Are all Circles Similar?
A sequence of transformations that would always work to establish two circles to be similar would be a translation from one center to the other. This would form two concentric circles (circles with the same center). Once the circles share a common center then from that center point we could perform a dilation.
