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 is the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?
The tangent line intersects 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.
What can be formed when a plane intersects a cone?
The various shapes are: point, straight line, circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola.
What is the place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
Which statement follows logically from the statement If a line is tangent to a circle then it intersects the circle at exactly one point?
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
What is a line called that intersects a circle at one point?
A tangent line. A line that intersects a circle at two points is a secant.
What is a segment that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent to the circle.
