What else can I help you with?
Is the tangent to a circle perpindicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency?
Yes it is. Great work !
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.
How Are tangents to a circle equal at opposite ends of a diameter?
Tangents ..... are parallel under conditions you gave. A tangent to a circle is perpindicular to the radius (diameter) at the point of contact. 2 lines perpindicular to the same line are parallel.
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 are tangents to a circle from a point called?
Often circles lines points et cetera are named.In this answer I call the circle C, the Tangent T, the point P, the center of the circle OThey are called just what your question asked:"The tangent to circle C through point P is T"P may not be inside C but may be on CIf P is outside C there are twotangents T1 and T2If P is on C there is one tangent TT is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency
If a line is tangent to a circle then it is what to the radius drawn at the point of tangency?
Perpendicular
Is the tangent to a circle perpindicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency?
Yes it is. Great work !
What does the radius-tangent theorem state?
The radius-tangent theorem states that a radius drawn to the point of tangency of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent line at that point. This theorem is based on the fact that the radius of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent line at the point where the tangent touches the circle. This relationship is crucial in geometry and helps in solving various problems related to circles and tangents.
If a line is tangent to a circle what angle is formed if a radius is drawn to the point of tangency?
90 degrees. QED.
A tangent is to the radius that shares the point of tangency?
Perpendicular
A tangent is what to the radius that shares the point of tangency?
perpendicular
A tangent to the radius that shares the point of tangency?
perpendicular
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.
What is the Radius tangent theorem?
The tangent of a circle always meets the radius of a circle at right angles.
What is the measure of an arc intercepted by an angle formed by a tangent and a chord drawn from the point of tangency if the angle measures 40?
4/9*pi*r where r is the radius of the circle.
What happens between a radius and a tangent in a circle?
A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius of a circle. A radius is a straight line going from the center of the circle to the circumference (edge) of the circle. A tangent is a straight line outside the circle that touched the circle at one (and only one) point. When a tangent touches the outside edge of the circle at the same point where a radius touches the edge of the circle, the angle between the radius and tangent line is 90 degrees meaning they are perpendicular.
What happens where a radius meets the tangent?
The radius and the tangent are perpendicular at the point on the circle where they meet.
