A striaght line , outside the circle, that just touches the circle in one place.
What else can I help you with?
What is a straight line that just touches a circle in one place called?
a tangent
What is a tangent ratio?
The tangent is the ratio of sine over cosine; also, in a unit circle, Y over X.
How is a tangent different from a chord?
A Tangent is a straight line, outside the circle, that just touches the circle circumference in one place. A Chord is a straight line , inside the circle, but not passing throught the centre. and touches the circle circumference in two place.
A tangent-tangent angle intercepts two arcs that measure 135 and 225 What is the measure of the tangent-tangent angle?
45 degrees
How do you use the Pythagoras theorem in circle?
In a circle that has a radius of one you use Pythagorean theorem to derive the sine, cosine and tangent formulas. Draw a circle around the origin on graph paper. The sine is the line segment from the point where the side of the angle intersects down to the x-axis. etc.
Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
What is the Tangent Line to Circle Theorem?
The Tangent Line to Circle Theorem states that a line is tangent to a circle if and only if it's perpendicular to the circle's radius.
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. ]
Where is the tangent secant angle on a circle?
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
How many tangents can be drawn to a circle containing a point inside a circle?
No tangent No tangent
How do you find the tangent of a circle?
a tangent is a line that touches the circle at only ONE point
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.
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.
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 is the Radius tangent theorem?
The tangent of a circle always meets the radius of a circle at right angles.
Can the construction of a tangent line through a point be done with A inside circle C?
No, a tangent line cannot be constructed through a point A that lies inside circle C. A tangent line to a circle must touch the circle at exactly one point, and if point A is inside the circle, it cannot be tangent to any point on the circle. Instead, a line can be drawn from point A to the circle, but it will intersect the circle at two points rather than being tangent.
What is tangent to a circle?
"Tangent" to a circle means touching the circle at one point, and only one point. Think of a skinny bicycle wheel standing on the ground. The ground is 'tangent' to the wheel.
