Is the circle or straight line on?

A straight line touching the circumference of circle at one point is a 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. ]


A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arcs?

tangent


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.


A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arc's radius is said to be?

tangent


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)


Tangent of a circle is what?

A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.


What is the point of intersection of a circle of a sphere with tangent line or plane?

The point of intersection of a tangent line or plane with a circle on a sphere is the single point where the line or plane touches the circle. This point is unique because, by definition, a tangent line or plane only intersects a circle at one point without passing through it. If the tangent is from an external point, it signifies that the line or plane is just "touching" the circle at that specific location. In three-dimensional space, this concept illustrates the relationship between the geometry of the sphere and the properties of tangents.


The point where the tangent line intersects a circle?

A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.


A line that touches the circle at one point?

A tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one point. It is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.


What line meets the circle at exactly one point?

The tangent line. A secant line hits the circle in two places and forms a cord, but the tangent line only hits the circle in one point and is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle which exists at that point.


How is a tangent different from a chord?

A Tangent is a straight line, outside the circle, that just touches the circle circumference in one place. A Chord is a straight line , inside the circle, but not passing throught the centre. and touches the circle circumference in two place.
