It's not. The tangent of 180 degrees is zero. Consider tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). When x = 180 degrees, sin(x) = 0 and cos(x) = -1 and so tan(x) = 0
The tangent function is a periodic function with period 180 degrees sotan(360) = tan(360-2*180) = tan(0) = 0.
Point of contact: (21, 8) Equation of circle: x^2 -y^2 -8x -16y -209 = 0 Completing the squares: (x-4)^2 +(y-8)^2 = 289 Centre of circle: (4, 8) and its radius is 17 Slope of radius: 0 Slope of tangent: 0 Tangent equation of the circle: x = 21 meaning that the tangent line is parallel to the y axis and that the radius is parallel to the x axis.
