Locus:
A locus is a figure that is a set of all points, and only those points,
that satisfy the one or more conditions that is stated.
eg.
The locus of a set of points in a plane that is 1cm. away from point C.
Concurrent Lines:
Concurrent lines are lines that intersect in one point.
Theorem:
The bisectors of angles of a triangle intersect at a point that is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.

Circles and Length of Segments:
Theorem:
When two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.
