How many tangents can be drawn on three circles if they dont lie within each other?
if you mean common tangents there can be only 2 tangents
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point outside the circle?
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.
Since a regular hexagon contains no circles it can be drawn using only a straightedge?
false
How many circle can be drawn passing through two points?
There are infinite circles which can be drawn with 2 defined points.. Because if we have 2 points then we can draw infinite equal intersecting lines in infinite directions, These intersecting lines are the radii of the circles. Like : we have 2 points You can draw infinite isosceles triangles as taking the line joining the points For example (activity) : we have 2 points A, B so let's join A and B which will make line AB and so let's take another point C and place that point in such a way that AC = AB and we observe that there are infinite points which can be placed in such a way like how we marked C. Now draw a circle with center C and radius A, we will observe that the circle also cuts through B and so as we have infinite points like C, so we can have infinite circles ..... And so we conclude that infinite circles with different radii can be drawn through two defined distant points ...
How many rectangles can be drawn with 38 cm as the perimeter?
There would be an infinite number of rectangles possible
How many tangents can be drawn on three circles if they dont lie within each other?

How many common external tangents can be drawn to two circles?
4================Another opinion:I'll say only two.
Number of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle?
2
How many tangents can be drawn from a single point?
Two tangents can be drawn from a point outside a circle to the circle. The answer for other curves depends on the curve.
How many parallel tangents can be drawn to a circle?
An infinite amount
How many common external tangent can be drawn to two concentric circles?
If the circles have the same radius then an infinite number, and if they do not, then none.
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
How many tangents can be drawn from a point on the circumference of a circle?
Only one which is a tangent to that circle.
What are circles drawn with?
A compass.
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point outside the circle?
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.
How many tangents can be drawn to a point on a circle?
Always one for sure, and never more than one.
What is the measure of the angle formed by two tangents drawn to a circle from an external point if they intersect a major arc whose measure is 200 degrees?
The angle between the two tangents is 20 degrees.
