A tangent to a circle is a line from a point outside the circles which touches the circle at a single point.
From the definition of tangent, it can ONLY have one point in common called the tangent point.
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle's circumference at just one point.
From the definition of tangent, it can ONLY have one point in common called the tangent point.
the tangent will never go through the center of a cirlce. The tangent is, by definition, a line that only intersects the circle at one point. If you look down a pencil along its long axis, so that it appears to be a circle, and place your finger on top of and perpendicular to the pencil, your finger is now tangent to the circle you see.
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 tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
The Tangent Line to Circle Theorem states that a line is tangent to a circle if and only if it's perpendicular to the circle's radius.
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. ]
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.

A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle's circumference at just one point.
The tangent of a circle always meets the radius of a circle at right angles.
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.
