Answer:

Only two.

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle can have infinite numbers of tangents through infinite number of points on the circumference of the circle.

But any two tangents of them intersect at a specific point which is different for different pairs of tangents.

Therefore, there are only two tangents that can be drawn to a circle from a point away from it and they will be on different sides of the circle. (Answer)
