Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
tangent
That's a tangent.
True
Point of Tangency
The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
A tangent line. A line that intersects a circle at two points is a secant.
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. ]
