3 Unit Maths β Circle Geometry Terms Chord A chord is a line segment joining any two points on the circle. ο· Divides circle into two parts, the minor arc and major arc. Secant A secant is a line that goes through a circle. Sector A sector is the region between two radii and the arc cut off by these radii. Segment A segment is the region between a chord and the arc cut off by the chord. Cyclic quadrilateral A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. The circle is circumscribed about the quadrilateral. Concyclic points Concyclic points are points that belong to the same circle. Concentric circles Concentric circles are circles that have the same centre.
