A tangent.
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
A. If the line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as: 1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle. 2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle. B. If the line segment touches one point on the circle AND the center of the circle AND is present only within the circle it is called as: radius.
A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is known as a secant line. This line crosses the circumference of the circle, creating two distinct intersection points. In contrast, a tangent line touches the circle at only one point, while a secant line extends through the circle.
A circle doesn't really have an edge, per se. But I think what you are referring to is a tangent.A tangent is a line that touches the perimeter of the circle at only one point.(see related link)

The tangent line only touches the outside of a circle at one given point. So an outside line perpendicular to the circle's diameter at 90 degrees should do.
A straight line touches the circumference of a circle only at one point and it is a tangent line
tan A = (sin A) / (cos A) tan (A)= opposite side length/adjacent side length A is an angle measurement; amount of degrees or radians. If a line is tangent to a curve, it only touches the curve at one point. looks like )| but the line is touching the curve. In a circle, the tangent line touches the circle at one point and is perpinducular to the circle's radius if it is touching that same point.
None can. A tangent is a line that touches a circle at only one point. If it wentthrough a point inside the circle, then it would have to touch the circle at twopoints ... one on the way in and another one on the way out.

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.
Actually, a secant is defined as a line that intersects a circle at two points, not just one. A line that touches a circle at exactly one point is called a tangent. Therefore, a secant goes through the circle, while a tangent merely touches it.
The point of intersection of a tangent line or plane with a circle on a sphere is the single point where the line or plane touches the circle. This point is unique because, by definition, a tangent line or plane only intersects a circle at one point without passing through it. If the tangent is from an external point, it signifies that the line or plane is just "touching" the circle at that specific location. In three-dimensional space, this concept illustrates the relationship between the geometry of the sphere and the properties of tangents.
