A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle exactly at one point.
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.

That's a tangent.

No, 2 planes may only intersect at a line, a plane, or not at all. THREE planes may intersect at a point though...
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.

Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]

True
A tangent.
Every circle has a point called the centre. A straight line drawn through the centre and extending both ways to intersect with the circle at opposite points is called the diameter. A straight line drawn from the centre to intersect with one point of the circle is called the radius. In this case, the length of that straight line is 12 inches.
