No. A tangent is a ratio without units. A line of 5 metres has a measurement unit: metres.
Draw a line from the center of the circle to the edge. Where this line intersects the edge draw a line 90 degrees to it. This line is the tangent at the point of intersection.
no. you have to draw it such that it doesn't.
A straight line that touches its outside corner
They both have the same tangent ratios so let the height of the tree be x:- x/20 = 3/5 Multiply both sides by 20 x = 60/5 The tree is 12 meters tall
A line tangent to a curve, at a point, is the closest linear approximation to how the curve is "behaving" near that point. The tangent line is used to estimate values of the curve, near that point.
A tangent to a circle is a line which touches the circle once. That is, it does not pass through the circle, which would mean intersecting it twice. A way to form a tangent is draw any line from the centre point of a circle to its edge. A line on the edge perpendicular (at 90 degrees to) this line will be a tangent.
If the sine is 3/5, the tangent must be 3/4, and the triangle must be a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle.
Tan(Pi/5) = √(5-2*√(5)) ~= 0.7265
You join the centres of the two circles. Divide this line in the ratio of the two radii. Draw the tangent from this point to either circle and extend it to touch the other circle.
you draw a triangle formed by the centers of the two circles and use pythagoean theorem
Draw a circle with centre O. draw a tangent PR touching circle at P. Draw QP perpendicular to RP at point P, Qp lies in the circle. Now, angle OPR = 90 degree (radius perpendicular to tangent) also angle QPR = 90 degree (given) Therefore angle OPR = angle QPR. This is possible only when O lies on QP. Hence, it is prooved that the perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre. Answer By- Rajendra Meena, Jaipur, India. email: rajendra.meena21@gmail.com
