Any tangent must contain a point outside the circle. So the answer to the question, as stated, is infinitely many.
However, if the question was how many tangents to a circle can be drawn from a point outside the circle, the answer is two.
if you mean common tangents there can be only 2 tangents
The answer is four. Wish I could draw a picture.
A radius is a line drawn from the centre of a circle to the edge of that circle. It is half the length of the diameter of the circle.
Perpendicular
A circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a given point, which is the center of the circle, and a circle can be drawn with a compass. (The phrase "locus of points for a circle" does not seem to be conventionally defined.) or true
Two tangents can be drawn from a point outside a circle to the circle. The answer for other curves depends on the curve.
No tangent No tangent

An infinite amount
Only one which is a tangent to that circle.
None can. A tangent is a line that touches a circle at only one point. If it wentthrough a point inside the circle, then it would have to touch the circle at twopoints ... one on the way in and another one on the way out.
Always one for sure, and never more than one.
Since AB and AC are tangent to the circle O, it seems that they both are drawn from the same outside point A. As tangents to a circle from an outside point are congruent, AB ≅ BC. Also, a tangent is perpendicular to radius drawn to point of contact. So that OB and OC are congruent radii. Therefore, the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABOC equals to P = 2(12 cm) + 2(5 cm) = 34 cm.
The angle between the two tangents is 20 degrees.

100 degrees
63o. Join the points where the tangents touch the circle to its centre to form a quadrilateral (two meeting tangents and two radii). These angles are both 90o, summing to 180o. Thus the other two angles - the one at the centre of the circle and the one where the tangents meet - sum to 360o - 180o = 180o (they are supplementary). The centre angle is given as 117o (the minor arc), so the angle where the tangents met is 180o - 117o = 63o.
