What is the difference between a tangent and a unit tangent?
1
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 tangent in trigonometry?
Tangent is the ratio between perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
What is a line called that touches the outside of a circle?
It is a tangent line
Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x axis?
yes, the slope of the line is the tangent of the angle
What is the relationship between a tangent line and a radius in a circle?
A tangent line is always perpendicular to the radius.
What is the relationship between the tan and cot?
Cotangent is 1 / tangent. Since tangent is sine / cosine, cotangent is cosine / sine.
What is the relationship between the tangents of complementary angles?
The tangent of an angle equals the inverse of an angle complementary to it. The relationship between the two tangents is that they are multiplicative inverses.
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.

What is one relationship between lines and circles?
A straight line touches the circumference of a circle only at one point and it is a tangent line

A line which touches the circle at only one point and outside the circle?
Is calleda tangent line. Is called a tangent line
What is a line called that touches the outside of a circle?
It is a tangent line
Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x axis?
yes, the slope of the line is the tangent of the angle
Where is the tangent secant angle on a circle?
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
