What is the difference between a point and a polygon?
A point and most of the time meets, a polygon is a circle thing that meets at some point!
Exterior of a circle?
is a set of point in the plane of the circle whse distance from the center are greatertan the radius
True or false thee point which a tangent line meets a circle is called point of tangency?
True
What line meets the circle at exactly one point?
The tangent line. A secant line hits the circle in two places and forms a cord, but the tangent line only hits the circle in one point and is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle which exists at that point.
Is a secant a line or segment that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle?
A secant is a line that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle. It intersects the circle at two different points.

The point at which a tangent line meets a circle is called the point of tangency?
true
What line on a circle only intercepts once?
tangant of circle intercepts it only on one point. In real the point where tangent meets the circle and intercepts it are same
True or false thee point which a tangent line meets a circle is called point of tangency?
True
What happens where a radius meets the tangent?
The radius and the tangent are perpendicular at the point on the circle where they meet.
What do you call a line that passess through a circle at exactly one point?
The diameter of a circle passes through the center of a circle at its center point
What line meets the circle at exactly one point?
The tangent line. A secant line hits the circle in two places and forms a cord, but the tangent line only hits the circle in one point and is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle which exists at that point.

A secant is a line that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle. It intersects the circle at two different points.
What is a line segment that goes from one point on the circle through the center to anther point on the circle?
It is the diameter
Is a line segment that goes from one point on the circle through the center to another point on the circle?
It is the diameter
What is the distance from the center to any point of the circle?
The Radius. NB The distance from any point on a circle , through the centre, to the opposite point on the circle ( a straight line) is the diameter.
