How do you draw a tangent on a point on a ciricle?
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.
If a circle measures 70mm from edge to edge what is the true diameter?
Well if your telling me a line that is perfectly straight through the circle and intersects the center is 70mm long that would be the diameter.
What is the radius from a circle?
It is the measurement from the middle point of a circle to the edge of the circle
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.
What is the length of the radius of the circle?
The radius of a circle is the length of the line from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.
A line that intersects with a circle at only one point of its edge is a?
It is a tangent.

How you would construct a regular hexagon using a compass?
First draw a circle. Keeping the compass at the same angle; from any point on the circle's edge, draw another arc that intersects the circle's edge and (should) go through the centre as well. Repeat these arcs until you get back to the start. Using a ruler, connect the six intersect points on the edge of the circle and erase the construction lines.
Diameter of a circle is 16cm what is the radius?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line from a point on the edge of the circle passing through the center of the circle and onto a point on the opposite edge of the circle. The radius of a circle is the length of a straight line from the center of a circle to a point on the edge of the edge of the circle. So the radius of a circle is half its diameter, in this case 8cm.

How are a nephroid and a cardioid similar?
A cardioid is the line a point on the edge of a circle traces when the circle is rolled around a circle of equal radius. A nephroid is the line a point on the edge of a circle traces when the circle is rolled around a circle of twice the radius.
What is the diameter on a circle?
The diameter is a straight line measured from the edge of the circle to the opposite edge passing through the center point
What is a segment in math?
A segment is part of a circle created by drawing a line from a point on the edge to another point on the edge.
What is the length of the radius of the circle?
The radius of a circle is the length of the line from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.
Define a circle?
a circle has one face, no vertexes ( or point ), and one curved edge
