What happens when two tangent segments meet at a point outside a circle?
Nothing "happens". They meet, and the rays continue merrily along their ways, never to meet again!
What is the Single point where many lines meet?
orgin? or intersection?
Are the lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are parallel?
No, they meet at a single point.
How many perpendicular bisectors are there in any given triangle?
3 and they meet in a single point called Circumcentre
What parallels are not circles?
If two circles are drawn using the same centre, the two lines of the circles are parallel as they don't meet each other.Two straight lines (think of railway tracks) are drawn next to each other, but never meet, they are parallel lines.
What happens where a radius meets the tangent?
The radius and the tangent are perpendicular at the point on the circle where they meet.
What is it called when lines line segments or rays meet at a point?
Tangent.
What happens when two tangent segments meet at a point outside a circle?
Nothing "happens". They meet, and the rays continue merrily along their ways, never to meet again!
In maths what is a tangent and what is a chord?
Tangent:In geometry, the tangent line (or simply the tangent) is a curve at a given point and is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. As it passes through the point where the tangent line and the curve meet the tangent line is "going in the same direction" as the curve, and in this sense it is the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point.Chord:A chord of a curve is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the outside of the circle.
What geometric term describes the place where a wall and the floor meet?
Tangent plane "is the floor". I never heard that the touching point has a specific name.
What is the Single point where many lines meet?
orgin? or intersection?
What is a circle whose center is located on the circumfrance of another circle?
A circle whose center is located on the circumference of another circle is called a tangent circle. The point where the two circles meet is called the point of tangency. In this case, the radius of the tangent circle is perpendicular to the radius of the original circle at the point of tangency.
Which four states meet at a single point?
Ask you're parents!
Are the lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are parallel?
No, they meet at a single point.
Which 4 states meet at one single point?
The four states that meet at a single point are Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah at the Four Corners Monument.
What is the antonym of tangent?
The answer depends on the context. In the context of a curve, a tangent is a straight line that touches the line without intersecting it. The antonym does not have a specific name because it could be a straight line that does not meet the curve at all, or it could be one that crosses the curve. Note that even a tangent can cross the curve at some other [distant] point(s).
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.
