Question

2 Define the tangents?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.

Answer 2

$\large\underline{\underline{\sf{ \color{lime}{ANSWER:-} }}}$

The line that joins two infinitely close points from a point on the circle is a Tangent. In other words, we can say that the lines that intersect the circles exactly in one single point are Tangents.

• The tangent line never crosses the circle, it just touches the circle.
• At the point of tangency, it is perpendicular to the radius.
• A chord and tangent form an angle and this angle is same as that of tangent inscribed on the opposite side of the chord.
• From the same external point, the tangent segments to a circle are equal
