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.
What is the diameter of a cup?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line segment going from one point on the circle to a point on the opposite side, passing through the center point of the circle. The diameter of a cup would be the diameter of the circular face of the cup.
What is a segment in math?
A segment is part of a circle created by drawing a line from a point on the edge to another point on the edge.
Locus of a point equidistant from two concentric circles?
Another circle midway between the originals.
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 a portion of a circle going from one point to another?
an arc
The diameter of a circle?
The diameter of a circle is a straight line going from one point on the circumference (the boundary) of the circle, through the centre of the circle, to another point on the circumference.
What of a circle connects its center to a point on the circle?
it becomes a circle inside another circle
What is the difference of diameter and meter?
The diameter is a straight line going from a point on the circumference of a circle, through the centre of the circle, to another point on the circumference. It can be of any length. A metre is a standard unit for measuring length.
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 between the pivot point and marking point of a compass when drawing a circle?
The distance between the pivot point and the marking point of a compass is the radius of the circle being drawn.
What is the line section from one point on the circle to another passing through the center?
It is the diameter of the circle.
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.
What is a line that goes from one point on the circle to another point of the circles circumference?
It Called A Divider
What is the span of the compass in drawing a circle through one point given the center at another point?
It is the distance between the two points.
What is the diameter of a cup?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line segment going from one point on the circle to a point on the opposite side, passing through the center point of the circle. The diameter of a cup would be the diameter of the circular face of the cup.
What is diameter of a circle?
The diameter of a circle is a straight line going from one point on its boundary, through the centre of the circle, to the boundary on the other side.
