Where is the tangent secant angle on a circle?

The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.


What is the chord that passes through the centre of a circle?

The chord that passes through the center of a circle is called the diameter. The measure of this chord is also called the diameter, and is used in calculations such as finding the circumference of a circle (Circumference equals pi times the diameter).^^wrong...it is eitherSecant or tangent im pretty sure its SECANT though...

Point of intersection between a tangent and circle?

A line tyhat's tangent to a circle intersects the circle in exactly one single point. The radius drawn to that point is perpendicular to the tangent.


How dou find diameter?

You measure it. If you know the radius (of a circle), you multiply it by 2 to get the diameter. If you know the circumference of a circle, you divide by pi to get the diameter.You measure it.

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.


How do you construct a line tangent through a circle through a point outside the circle?

The tangent line only touches the outside of a circle at one given point. So an outside line perpendicular to the circle's diameter at 90 degrees should do.
