In the words of Euclid:
- In a circle straight lines are said to be equally distant from the center when the perpendiculars drawn to them from the center are equal.
(The Elements: Book $\text{III}$: Definition $4$)
- And that straight line is said to be at a greater distance on which the greater perpendicular falls.
