How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
Number of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle?
2
What is the relationship between the tangents of complementary angles?
The tangent of an angle equals the inverse of an angle complementary to it. The relationship between the two tangents is that they are multiplicative inverses.
How do you find area and circumfrence of a circle?
It depends on what information you have: radius, diameter, lengths of tangents from a point outside the circle, length of chord and its distance from the centre, etc. Also, the term is circumference, not circumfrence.
Ab and ac are tangents to a circle with centre o and radius 5cmif ac equals 12cmfind the perimeter of quadrilateral aboc?
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.
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.
What are the tangents of all coordinates in a unit circle?
WHAT ARE THE TANGENTS OF ALL COORDINATES IN THE UNIT CIRCLE?
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.
How many parallel tangents can a circle have?
infinite
When two tangents of a circle intersect what is the relationship between the angle they form and the lesser and greater arcs of the circle?
1/2(greaterarc-lesserarc)=angle
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.
