1. Congruent Circles
If the radius of two circles is same then they are identified as congruent Circles.

2.Tangent to a circle
Tangent line is the line which intersects the circle at one point only and that point is known as point of Tangency.
-

3. Polygon inscribed in a Circle or Circle Circumscribed a polygon
When all the vertices of a polygon lie on the circumference of the circle, it is known as inscribed polygon or circle is circumscribed about a polygon.
