Extend DO to meet M at F, then:
∠ADO = ∠OFB (alternate angles as DOF is a straight line across the two parallel lines)
Using the straight line FOD:
∠DOE = ∠BEO + ∠OFB (exterior angle of a triangle = sum of other two angles)
= ∠BEO + ∠ADO (substituting for equivalent angle found above)
Consider triangles OBE and OCE.
They are both right angle triangles as BE and CE are tangent to the circle centre O, with ∠OBE = ∠OEC = 90°.
They have the same hypotenuse side OE.
They have equivalent sides OB and OC equal in length (both are a radius of the circle).
Thus triangles OBE and OCE are congruent by Right Angle-Hypotenuse-Side (RHS).
Making ∠CEO = ∠BEO
Similarly considering the triangles OAD and OCD:
Both right angled triangles with ∠OAD = ∠OCD = 90°
Both have same hypotenuse OD
Both have equivalent side OA and OC of equal length (both are a radius of the circle).
Thus triangles OAD and OCD are congruent by RHS
Making ∠CDO = ∠ADO
Summing the angles in triangle ODE and substituting equivalent angles (∠CDO = ∠ADO, ∠CEO = ∠BEO, ∠DOE = ∠BEO + ∠ADO) gives:
∠CEO + ∠CDO + ∠DOE = 180°
→∠BEO + ∠ADO + ∠DOE = 180°
→ ∠DOE + ∠DOE = 180°
→ 2∠DOE = 180°
→ ∠DOE = 90°
QED.
Is a tangent
It is a vertical line touching a horizontal line
A map projection designed on a flat plane touching the globe at one point such as the north or South Pole.
Tangent plane "is the floor". I never heard that the touching point has a specific name.
With no repetition of shapes (symmetry) we have obtained 26 different combinations.
Secants are chords that go through a circle ONCE! Tangents are rays or segments with one point touching the border of a circle and nothing else.
In Euclidean geometry, if and only if they are parallel.
If two lines go on forever without touching but are not parallel, they are skew, lines that do not lie in the same plane.
two diagonal lines that aren't touching
1st position and parallel (or 6th position)
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. ]
triangle
A kite
Yes Because, it's going the same way but without touching.
No, computer viruses are spread via removable media, and the internet
Technically isn't it perpendicular? If it isn't parallel, then they will eventually touch because lines go on forever and if you were to extend it, they'd touch.
Parallel lines are always the same distance apart and never touching. This is the definition of parallel in the plane. When we deal with spheres and other geometries, we must sometimes modify this definition. In any case, in the plane they do not meet.
