Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
What is the tangency of a circle?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle's circumference at just one point
What is the tangent of a circle?
A striaght line , outside the circle, that just touches the circle in one place.
How can you recognize a tangent of a circle?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle's circumference at just one point.
What is Tangent in geometry?
A tangent is a straight line that touches the circumference of a circle at a given point
How is a tangent different from a chord?
A Tangent is a straight line, outside the circle, that just touches the circle circumference in one place. A Chord is a straight line , inside the circle, but not passing throught the centre. and touches the circle circumference in two place.
Line touches a point on the circumference of the circle?
When a line touches a point on the circumference of a circle, it is referred to as a tangent. A tangent to a circle is a straight line that intersects the circle at exactly one point, known as the point of tangency. At this point, the tangent is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. This unique relationship defines the geometric properties of tangents in relation to circles.
What happens between a radius and a tangent in a circle?
A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius of a circle. A radius is a straight line going from the center of the circle to the circumference (edge) of the circle. A tangent is a straight line outside the circle that touched the circle at one (and only one) point. When a tangent touches the outside edge of the circle at the same point where a radius touches the edge of the circle, the angle between the radius and tangent line is 90 degrees meaning they are perpendicular.
A line that touches the circle at one point?
A tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one point. It is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
What is one relationship between lines and circles?
A straight line touches the circumference of a circle only at one point and it is a tangent line
What t-word is define in geometry as a straight line that touches a curve but continues on with crossing it?
A tangent line touches a curve or the circumference of a circle at just one point.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
