Page 39 - A circle is a plane figure bounded by a curved line, called the circumference, every point of which is equally distant from a point within called the center.
Page 32 - If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, the figure is a parallelogram.
Page 6 - Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
