an 'intersection', but the statement is factually correct.

What is a segment that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent to the circle.
What is a line or ray that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
tangent
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.
What is the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?
The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
Is the tangent of a circle its radius?
No, a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the perimeter of the circle.
Which statement follows logically from the statement If a line is tangent to a circle then it intersects the circle at exactly one point?
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
What is the place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
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**.
A line which intersects a circle at exactly one point is called?
tangent
A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
What is a line that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
