Is the tangent of a circle is parallel to the radius drawn to the point of tangency?
Yes it is. Great work!
Line touches a point on the circumference of the circle?
When a line touches a point on the circumference of a circle, it is referred to as a tangent. A tangent to a circle is a straight line that intersects the circle at exactly one point, known as the point of tangency. At this point, the tangent is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. This unique relationship defines the geometric properties of tangents in relation to circles.
Is The point at which a tangent line meets a circle is called the point of tangency.?
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.
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.
What is a circle with a tangent line?
A circle with a tangent line is a geometric configuration where a straight line touches the circle at exactly one point, known as the point of tangency. At this point, the tangent line is perpendicular to the radius of the circle that extends to that point. This relationship highlights the unique property of tangents, as they do not intersect the circle at any other point. Tangent lines are important in various applications, including calculus and physics, as they represent instantaneous rates of change.
If a line is tangent to a circle then it is what to the radius drawn at the point of tangency?
Perpendicular

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.

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.
