Question

small definitions of tangent and secant

Answer 1

TANGANT:
1.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.

2.a completely different line of thought or action.

SECANT:
1.MATHEMATICS

the ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine.

2.GEOMETRY

a straight line that cuts a curve in two or more parts.

Answer 2

a tangent is a line that intersects the circle in exactly one point. and a secant is alone that intersects the circle into two different points.
