Is the tangent of a circle its radius?

No, a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the perimeter of the circle.


A secant tangent passes through the center of a 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 do you call a line that passess through a circle at exactly one point?

The diameter of a circle passes through the center of a circle at its center 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.


Tangent of a circle is what?

A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.


Does a tangent circle pass through the center of the circle?

If the tangent circles are outside of one another, then neither passes through the center of the other. If one circle is within the other, then the inner tangent circle might contain the center point of the larger circle. There will be infinitely many inner tangent circles that do not.


A tangent circle passes always through the center of the circle?

A line joining the centres of two tangent circles also passes through the point of tangency.


Does always a tangent to a circle pass through the center of the circle?

the tangent will never go through the center of a cirlce. The tangent is, by definition, a line that only intersects the circle at one point. If you look down a pencil along its long axis, so that it appears to be a circle, and place your finger on top of and perpendicular to the pencil, your finger is now tangent to the circle you see.


Definition of tangent in a circle?

A tangent to a circle is a line from a point outside the circles which touches the circle at a single point.


Point of intersection between a tangent and circle?

A line tyhat's tangent to a circle intersects the circle in exactly one single point. The radius drawn to that point is perpendicular to the tangent.


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 the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?

The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
