That depends on what question you have been asked concerning the two tangents.

All by itself, a circle with two tangents is quite content, and isn't looking for a solution.

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.


Are tangents to a circle equal at opposite ends of a diameter?

If you draw tangents to a circle at opposite ends of a diameter, those two tangents are parallel. No matter how far you extend them, they'll never meet.

Does every pair of circles have common tangents of both types?

no; for example, a circle and a circle within that circle have no common 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.


The distance between two parallel tangents of a circle of the radius 4cm is?

If the tangents are parallel, they must be on opposite ends of a diameter.They are 8 cm apart.


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 243 and the minor arc measures 117?

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.


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.
