What is a line that intersects a circle at only one point?
A tangent line.
What is aline that intersects with a circle at only one point of its edge?
It is a tangent line
What is a line tht intersects a circle at only one point called?
That is a tangent line.
Is it possible to construct a regular hexagon using only a straight edge and a compass?
Yes. The related link shows the procedure with pictures. Basically, draw a circle with the compass, then without changing the compass, put the point somewhere on the circle and make a small mark which intersects the circle. Now put the point at this intersection, and make another mark with the circle. Keep going until you have 6 marks, then take your straight edge and connect the marks.
Does a secant line pass through the center of a circle?
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
A line that intersects only one point on a circle is called a what?
A tangent.
A line that intersects with a circle at only one point of its edge is a?
It is a tangent.
What is a line that intersects a circle at only one point?
A tangent line.
A line that intersects only one point on a circle is called a?
It is called a tangent.
What is aline that intersects with a circle at only one point of its edge?
It is a tangent line
What is a line tht intersects a circle at only one point called?
That is a tangent line.
If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?
If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to the chord.
Does always a tangent to a circle pass through the center of the circle?
the tangent will never go through the center of a cirlce. The tangent is, by definition, a line that only intersects the circle at one point. If you look down a pencil along its long axis, so that it appears to be a circle, and place your finger on top of and perpendicular to the pencil, your finger is now tangent to the circle you see.

What line on a circle only intercepts once?
tangant of circle intercepts it only on one point. In real the point where tangent meets the circle and intercepts it are same
Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
