How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
Theorem Length of tangent drawn from external point to a circle are equal?
e
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 diameters of a circle can be drawn?
There are infinite diameters within a circle.
What circle is the largest circle that can be drawn around a sphere such as a globe?
general astronomy
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.
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 be drawn to a circle?
An infinite amount
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 is the measure of the angle formed by two tangents drawn to a circle from an external point if they intersect a minor arc whose measure is 80 degrees?
100 degrees
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.
What is the measure of the angle formed by two tangents drawn to a circle from an external point if they intersect a minor arc whose measure is 150 degrees?
Assuming the measure of the arc refers to the angle at the centre of the circle, the answer is 180 - 150 = 30 degrees.
How many tangents can be drawn to a point on a circle?
Always one for sure, and never more than one.
How many common external tangents can be drawn to two circles?
4================Another opinion:I'll say only two.
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.
The number of tangents that can be drawn to two nonintersecting circles is?
The answer is four. Wish I could draw a picture.
