Yes.
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Sometimes
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.

Yes, it can as long as it is not the tangent line of the outermost circle. If it is tangent to any of the inner circles it will always cross the outer circles at two points--so it is their secant line--whereas the tangent of the outermost circle is secant to no circle because there are no more circles beyond that last one.

The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent side. The tangent angle of a right triangle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.

Answer · 0 votes Length of interior part of secant = 40 inches Please see attached image for diagram with work shown Image transcriptions The tangent—secant theorem states that if a tangent and a secant are drawn from the same external point, the length of the tangent squared is equal to the external part of the secant multiplied by the whole segment. 15_ Let x = the length of the inner segment of the secant II'I ' Length whole secant = length interior of secant + length exterior of secant 5 in = x + 5 (tangent? = (length exterior) * (length whole secant) (15)2 = (5) * (x + 5) 225 = 5x + 25 200: 5x 40:): Measure of internal segment = 40 inches More
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
