4. Chord: The chord is a straight line which joins any two given points on the circumference of a circle.
5. Sector: This is the part of a circle bounded by two radii and an arc.
6. Quadrant: The quadrant is the part of a circle bounded by two radii which are at right angles to each other, and bounded by an arc. A quadrant is a quarter of the circle.

Tangent: The tangent is usually ………………
