The answer is two.
A tangent is a line that intersects a circle at only one point on its circumference. On the other hand, a secant is a line that cuts through a circle such that it touches at two points of the circumference.

The answer of your question is " Two''
There are two tangents , parallel to a secant that can be drawn at circle.
There are two tangents , parallel to a secant that can be drawn at circle.
A tangent is actually a line which intersects a circle in the exactly one point while on the other hand a secant is a line which intersects a circle in exactly two points or touches the two points of circumference of a circle . SO when you draw tangents parallel to scant there can be only two tangents that drawn. This could easily observed upon drawing the circle and then scant and tangents .
