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.
A line which intersects a circle at exactly one point is called?
tangent
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. ]
Does a secant tangent angle pass through the center of the circle?
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.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
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.
Which of these is a secant dot P?
A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points, denoted as P and Q. The dot in "secant dot P" likely indicates where the secant line intersects the circle at point P.
What is a line called that intersects a circle at one point?
A tangent line. A line that intersects a circle at two points is a secant.
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.
A secant is a line or segment that passes thought a circle in one and only one place?
Actually, a secant is defined as a line that intersects a circle at two points, not just one. A line that touches a circle at exactly one point is called a tangent. Therefore, a secant goes through the circle, while a tangent merely touches it.
Which statement follows logically from the statement If a line is tangent to a circle then it intersects the circle at exactly one point?
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
What touches the circle at two points?
A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is known as a secant line. This line crosses the circumference of the circle, creating two distinct intersection points. In contrast, a tangent line touches the circle at only one point, while a secant line extends through the circle.
What is the place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
What is a segment that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent to the circle.
What is a line that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
A tangent.
A line in the plane of a circle that intersects a circle at exactly one point is called a?
tangent
A line that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent.
