This is the radius of the circle. It connects the center of the circle to any point on the circumference. The length of the radius is constant for a given circle.
What is the line of latitude at 66 degrees and 30 ' s?
The line of latitude at 66 degrees 30 minutes south is known as the Antarctic Circle. This line marks the southernmost point at which the sun can be seen at its highest point in the sky during the December solstice. On this line, there will be one day per year where the sun does not set (during the summer solstice) and one day where it does not rise (during the winter solstice).
What is the northernmost line of latitude?
The equator is the longest line of latitude as it is located at the circumference of Earth, and the circumference of Earth is always the longest compared to anywhere as the theory is the same of the circumference of a sphere.
The equator is at 0 degrees what?
The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, which means it is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is the widest part of Earth's surface, and the only line of latitude that is a great circle.
What is a circle inside a circle called?
A circle inside another circle is called a concentric circle. This means that the circles share the same center point, with one circle contained entirely within the other.
Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
The point where the tangent line intersects a circle?
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
Are line may intersect a circle at exactly one point?
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle exactly at one point.
What is a line that touches a circle in only one point?
A tangent.
What is the tangent of a circle?
A tangent is a straight line that touches a circle's circumference at one point
How do you find the tangent of a circle?
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
A line that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]
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 the tangency of a circle?

How can you recognize a tangent of a circle?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle's circumference at just one point.
What is the correct term for a straight line that touches one point on a circle?

A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
