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.

Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
What is a tangent line with respect to a circle?
A tangent to a circle is a line which touches the circle once. That is, it does not pass through the circle, which would mean intersecting it twice. A way to form a tangent is draw any line from the centre point of a circle to its edge. A line on the edge perpendicular (at 90 degrees to) this line will be a tangent.
How do you find the tangent of a circle?
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
Definition of tangent in a circle?

What is the Tangent Line to Circle Theorem?
The Tangent Line to Circle Theorem states that a line is tangent to a circle if and only if it's perpendicular to the circle's radius.
A line that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
