What is tangent line?
tan A = (sin A) / (cos A) tan (A)= opposite side length/adjacent side length A is an angle measurement; amount of degrees or radians. If a line is tangent to a curve, it only touches the curve at one point. looks like )| but the line is touching the curve. In a circle, the tangent line touches the circle at one point and is perpinducular to the circle's radius if it is touching that same point.
What is a line through a circle called?
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.
What is the symbol for perpendicular lines?
It is a vertical line touching a horizontal line
How many diagonals does a circle have?
If you are referring to the segment passing through the center of the circle and touching the circumference of the circle then it's the diameter of the circle.There can be infinite diameters drawn inside a circle.
Is the circle or straight line symbol on or off?
The line stands for "on" and the circle stands for "off".
A line touching a circle at one point?
A tangent line.
Line touching the circumference of a circle?
A tangent
Is the circle or straight line on?
A straight line touching the circumference of circle at one point is a tangent
What is the geometry term for a line touching a circle?
Tangent
In Geometry what is the term for a line touching the circle?
tangent
A line that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]
What is A sentence using tangential?
Look, the tangential line is touching a semi circle.
What are the symbols in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'?
Picture this. A straight, vertical line (The Elder Wand) . A circle (The Ressurection Stone) is at the based of the line so that the bottom of the circle is touching the bottom of the line, and the topof the circle is rougly halfway up the line. This image is then enclosed in a triangle (The Cloak of Invisibility), so that the top corner is touching the top of the line, the two sidelengths touch the sides of the circle (if that makes sense) and the bottom length touches the bottom of the circle.
A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arcs?
tangent

How do you find the diameter if the radius for a circle is 32?
The diameter is the length of a line touching both sides of the circle and passing through the centre. The radius is the length of a line from the centre to touching the circle, and is half the length of the diameter, the diameter then is twice the length of the radius > diameter = radius * 2 = 32 * 2 = 64
What is the line touching the edge of a circle?
A circle doesn't really have an edge, per se. But I think what you are referring to is a tangent.A tangent is a line that touches the perimeter of the circle at only one point.(see related link)
