How do you draw a tangent on a point on a ciricle?
Draw a line from the center of the circle to the edge. Where this line intersects the edge draw a line 90 degrees to it. This line is the tangent at the point of intersection.
Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
Definition of tangent in a circle?
A tangent to a circle is a line from a point outside the circles which touches the circle at a single point.
What is the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?
The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
How do you find the tangent of a circle?
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
What is the place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
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**.
Will the intersection of a plane and a sphere always be a circle or can it be a point also?
It will be a point if the plane is tangent to the sphere.

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.

A tangent to a circle is a line from a point outside the circles which touches the circle at a single point.
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. ]
What is the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?
The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
The point where the tangent line intersects a circle?
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
What is the tangent of a circle?

How do you find the tangent of a circle?
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
