Does a tangent circle pass through the center of the circle?
If the tangent circles are outside of one another, then neither passes through the center of the other. If one circle is within the other, then the inner tangent circle might contain the center point of the larger circle. There will be infinitely many inner tangent circles that do not.
If a circle is inscribed in a hexagon which of the following must be true?
A. The hexagon is circumscribed about the circle . D. Each vertex of the hexagon lies outside the circle . E. The circle is tangent to each side of the hexagon .
What do you call a line that passess through a circle at exactly one point?
The diameter of a circle passes through the center of a circle at its center point
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
How many lines can be drawn through a given point on a circle that is tangent to the circle?
Infinite lines because a circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
Definition of tangent in a circle?
A tangent to a circle is a line from a point outside the circles which touches the circle at a single point.
Does a tangent circle pass through the center of the circle?
If the tangent circles are outside of one another, then neither passes through the center of the other. If one circle is within the other, then the inner tangent circle might contain the center point of the larger circle. There will be infinitely many inner tangent circles that do not.
A secant tangent passes through the center of a circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Does a secant tangent angle pass through the center of the circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
A line which touches the circle at only one point and outside the circle?
Is calleda tangent line. Is called a tangent line
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.
What is the tangent of a circle?
A striaght line , outside the circle, that just touches the circle in one place.
What is a line called that touches the outside of a circle?
It is a tangent line
A tangent circle passes always through the center of the circle?
A line joining the centres of two tangent circles also passes through the point of tangency.
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.
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 a tangent line with respect to a circle?
A tangent to a circle is a line which touches the circle once. That is, it does not pass through the circle, which would mean intersecting it twice. A way to form a tangent is draw any line from the centre point of a circle to its edge. A line on the edge perpendicular (at 90 degrees to) this line will be a tangent.
