Question

differentiate between a secant and tangent to a circle by drawing a figure​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a circle, every point on the circle is at an equal distance from the centre O. In a secant, the line intersects the circle at two points. But a tangent intersects the circle at only one point around its outer line. ... But the common fact between them is both the lines are drawn from outside of the circle.

Answer 2

Answer:

A line that intersects a circle in exactly one point is called a tangent and the point where the intersection occurs is called the point of tangency. A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points.
