If your question is " What is the shape of a sphere's tangent?" , then the answer is : a plane. A plane basically touches the sphere at only one point and hence , it should be a plane. It cannot be a straight line , as a straight line is a tangent for 2D objects,( ie.) a circle.
A tangent is an object, like a line, which touches a curve. The tangent only touches the curve at one point. That point is called the point of tangency. The tangent does not intersect (pass through) the curve.
you solve secant angles when you have the hypotenuse and adjacent sides. sec=1/cos or, cos^-1 (reciprocal identity property) Tangent is solved when you have adjacent and opposite sides, or you can look at it as its what you use when you dont have the hypotenuse. tan=sin/cos or tan=opp/adj or tan=y/x
tangent tables are used to find values of all angles..precisely..like tan 15 degress and 25 minutes.
A common tangent is a line which is tangent to two (or more) curves.

Look pretty.
all you do is look the definition up and write a sentence got it
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.

the tangent will never go through the center of a cirlce. The tangent is, by definition, a line that only intersects the circle at one point. If you look down a pencil along its long axis, so that it appears to be a circle, and place your finger on top of and perpendicular to the pencil, your finger is now tangent to the circle you see.
