Point of intersection between a tangent and circle?
A line tyhat's tangent to a circle intersects the circle in exactly one single point. The radius drawn to that point is perpendicular to the tangent.
How many tangents can be drawn from a point on the circumference of a circle?
Only one which is a tangent to that circle.
What is Tangent in geometry?
A tangent is a straight line that touches the circumference of a circle at a given point
Is the tangent to a circle perpindicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency?
Yes it is. Great work !
Is the tangent of a circle is parallel to the radius drawn to the point of tangency?
Yes it is. Great work!
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
Point of intersection between a tangent and circle?
A line tyhat's tangent to a circle intersects the circle in exactly one single point. The radius drawn to that point is perpendicular to the tangent.
How many lines can be drawn through a given point on a circle that is tangent to the circle?
Infinite lines because a circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
How many tangents can be drawn from a point on the circumference of a circle?
Only one which is a tangent to that circle.
If a line is tangent to a circle then it is what to the radius drawn at the point of tangency?
Perpendicular

How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point outside the circle?
Any tangent must contain a point outside the circle. So the answer to the question, as stated, is infinitely many. However, if the question was how many tangents to a circle can be drawn from a point outside the circle, the answer is two.
If a line is tangent to a circle what angle is formed if a radius is drawn to the point of tangency?
90 degrees. QED.
Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
