compared or used.

in the numerator, or the denominator, or in both the numerator and 
denominator.

         same number of degrees.
(54) Circle-consist of a set of points each point is equidistant from a 
         fixed point called the center.
(55) Diameter- a line connecting two points on a circle and passing        
         through the circle's center.  The diameter is twice the radius.
(56) Radius- a line drawn from the center of the circle to a point on the
         the circle.  The radius is one-half the diameter.
(57) Chord- a line connecting two points on the circle.

(59) Circumference- is the distance around a circle.
(60) Mean-is the sum of the values in a data set divided by the number 
          of pieces of data. Mean is the average.
(61) Median-is the middle value in a data set when the values are listed 
         from lowest to highest.
(62) Mode-one of the values appearing the most in a data set.
(63) Range-the difference between the lowest and the highest in a data    
         set.

quotient of two integers. Examples are pi and square roots.
(83) coordinate plane is the plane determined by a horizontal number 
line, called the x-axis, and a vertical number line, called the y-axis, 
intersecting at a point called the origin. Each point in the coordinate 
plane can be specified by an ordered pair of numbers. Examples (0,5), 
(2,-5)
The first point or number tells us which direction to move on the x-axis, 
and the second point or number tell us which direction to move on the y-
axis.

(83) Unit Fraction- is a fraction whose numerator is one and whose denominator is a whole number 
greater than 1.
