What is a segement that is tangent to a circle at an endpoint?
It is called a tangent segment.
How many chords can a tangent contain?
A tangent to a circle can contain at most one chord, which is the line segment connecting two points on the circle that lies entirely within the circle. Since a tangent line only touches the circle at a single point and does not intersect it elsewhere, it cannot contain multiple chords. Therefore, regardless of how many points are on the circle, a tangent line can only be associated with one chord at that specific contact point.
What is a tangent line?
Tangent line is a graph. This graph is to gather data.
What is the area of triangle ABC if AB is tangent to the circle?
To find the area of triangle ABC where AB is tangent to the circle, we need the length of the tangent segment and the distance from point C to line AB. The area can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * base * height, where the base is the length of segment AB and the height is the perpendicular distance from point C to line AB. If additional information such as the lengths of sides or coordinates is provided, we can give a more specific answer.
What is the relationship between the length of a tangent and a secant?
The relationship between the length of a tangent and a secant in a circle can be described using the tangent-secant theorem. According to this theorem, if a tangent segment is drawn from a point outside the circle to a point of tangency, and a secant segment is drawn from the same external point to intersect the circle at two points, then the square of the length of the tangent segment equals the product of the lengths of the entire secant segment and its external segment. Mathematically, if ( T ) is the length of the tangent and ( S ) is the length of the secant, the relationship can be expressed as ( T^2 = S \cdot (S - P) ), where ( P ) is the length of the part of the secant inside the circle.
How do you find x assume that segments that appear tangent are tangent?
A tangent refers to the way in which a curve is measured. The amount of deviation from the segment line is measures, then a formula applied to find the tangent.
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 is a segement that is tangent to a circle at an endpoint?

Which segment is a tangent segment to circle Q?
a and b
What are at least 3 properties of a circle that has only 1 line of symmetry?
They can be: a sector, a segment and a tangent
What is tangent segment are?
Well, darling, a tangent segment is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, creating a right angle with the circle's radius at that point. It's like the cool kid that just barely brushes up against the circle without actually getting too cozy with it. So, in simpler terms, it's a line that touches a circle at one point and doesn't cross through it.
What is a straight line that just touches a circle in one place called?
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. ]
How many chords can a tangent contain?
A tangent to a circle can contain at most one chord, which is the line segment connecting two points on the circle that lies entirely within the circle. Since a tangent line only touches the circle at a single point and does not intersect it elsewhere, it cannot contain multiple chords. Therefore, regardless of how many points are on the circle, a tangent line can only be associated with one chord at that specific contact point.
What is the tangent of the curve?
A tangent is a line which touches, but does not cross, a curved line.
