None. A tangent is a line that has exactly onepoint in common with the circle.

If it contained a point inside the circle, then it would have to pass through two

points on the circle.

How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?

No tangent No tangent


How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside the circle?

None can. A tangent is a line that touches a circle at only one point. If it wentthrough a point inside the circle, then it would have to touch the circle at twopoints ... one on the way in and another one on the way out.


What are the different types of angles in a circle?

There are many angles inside a circle. You have inscribed angles, right angles, and central angles. These angles are formed from using chords, secants, and tangents.


If the measure of a tangent-chord angle is 36 then what is the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle?

-- You have two tangents to a circle, meeting at a point outside the circle.At the point where they meet, the angle between them is 36°.-- Draw the two radii inside the circle, from the center to the points wherethe two tangents graze the circle. The angle between these two radii is themeasure of the intecepted arc.-- A seldom-remembered little corollary from geometry:When you have a line that's tangent to a circle, the radius of the circledrawn to the point of tangency is perpendicular to the line there.-- So you have a quadrilateral, with vertices at the two points of tangency,the center of the circle, and the external point where the tangents meet.-- Three of the angles are: ==> 90° at each point of tangency,==> 36° degrees at the external point.-- The sum of the 4 angles inside a quadrilateral is 360°.We know three of them inside this particular quadrilateral.The amount left for the angle at the center of the circle is (360°) - (2x 90°) - (36°) = 144°.The answer that was here before was a number followed by " APEX lol "I deleted it because this website doesn't like to be used to facilitatecheating between visitors involved with APEX.lol


Find the equations of the lines that are tangent to the ellipse x squared plus y squared equals sixteen and that also pass through the point x equals 4 and y equals 6?

This is not possible, since the point (4,6) lies inside the circle : X2 + Y2 = 16 Tangents to a circle or ellipse never pass through the circle


Can Two intersecting lines both be tangents?

It's possible for any number of intersecting lines to all be tangent to the same circle. Think of a dinner plate sitting in a pizza box that just exactly fits it. Looking straight down from above, it looks like a circle inside a square. All four sides of the square are tangent to the circle.


What fraction of a circle does 7 degrees represent?

It is NOT a fraction but a SECTOR. of 7 degres. The regions of a circle are: - Circumference ; all the way around. Radius ; distance from the centre to the circumference Diameter ; Twice the radius and a straight line from circumference through the centre to the opposite side . Chord; a line drawen inside a circle, betwwen two points on the circumference, but NOT touching the centre. Arc ; that part of the circumference that form the curved side of a sector. Sector ; An area inside the circle whose bondaries are two radii and an arc. Tangent ; a line outside the circle just touching the circumference in ONE place.

What is the space inside a circle?

Circumference is the outside of the circle and the inside is the are of the circle. And inside of the circle, there is diameter and radius. Radius is from the center point to the edge of the circle and diameter is all the way across.
