What is a theorem about two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of a diameter?
Two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of its diameter are parallel. See related link for proof.
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 is the line touching the edge of a circle?
A circle doesn't really have an edge, per se. But I think what you are referring to is a tangent.A tangent is a line that touches the perimeter of the circle at only one point.(see related link)
What name is given to the line that traces the edge of a circle?
The curved line that traces the boundary or perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. A straight line that touches the circle at just one point is called a tangent. See the related link, 'The Parts of the Circle', below this answer.

A tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle. The length of the tangent segment is 15 inches. The external segment of the secant segment measures 5 inches. What is the measure of the internal secant segment?

Answer · 0 votes Length of interior part of secant = 40 inches Please see attached image for diagram with work shown Image transcriptions The tangent—secant theorem states that if a tangent and a secant are drawn from the same external point, the length of the tangent squared is equal to the external part of the secant multiplied by the whole segment. 15_ Let x = the length of the inner segment of the secant II'I ' Length whole secant = length interior of secant + length exterior of secant 5 in = x + 5 (tangent? = (length exterior) * (length whole secant) (15)2 = (5) * (x + 5) 225 = 5x + 25 200: 5x 40:): Measure of internal segment = 40 inches More
Why sine ratio is the ratio of opposite side and hypotenuse?
Because that is accepted definition. The sine is opposite over hypotenuse, or Y in the unit circle. The cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, or X in the unit circle. The tangent is sine over cosine, etc. For more information, please see the related link below.
What is a triangle with one curved leg?
If you see something that looks like that, it might be a sector of a circle. But it might not be. One thing's for sure: It's no triangle.
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 symptoms do you see externally during pregnancy?
Apparent fatness, but it's actually a baby.
Where are the endpoints of a circle?
A circle as such does not have a start point nor an end point. We do however have to start at one point and end at the same point when we draw a perfect circle, but after it is drawn, the actual circle does not have a start nor an end. We might be able to see where we started and ended but this is of no significance to the actual start/end point of the circle as the circle itself does not have any.
Is a 1967 Pontiac 400 block the same as a 1968 400 block I am looking to see if the engine mounts are the same?
externally, they are the same. The engine mounting holes on the block are the same. the motor mounts themselves might be different though.
