A line segment with one endpoint at the center of a circle?
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.
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 the tangent of a circle?
A tangent is a straight line that touches a circle's circumference at 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 correct term for a straight line that touches one point on a circle?
tangent
What is tangent segment are?
A tangent is a straight line that touches the outer circumference of a circle at one point
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.
How do you construct a line tangent through a circle through a point outside the circle?
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.
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
What is 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.
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside the circle?
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.
