From the definition of tangent, it can ONLY have one point in common called the tangent point.
The common point is called the intersection.

Yes, the point at which a tangent line intersects a circle is indeed called the point of tangency. At this point, the tangent line touches the circle at exactly one location, and it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to that point. This relationship is fundamental in geometry, particularly in the study of circles and tangents.

tangent
None. A tangent is a line that has exactly onepoint in common with the circle.If it contained a point inside the circle, then it would have to pass through twopoints on the circle.

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. ]
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
Intersecting lines.
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle exactly at one point.

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**.
