Question

The common point of the tangent and the circle is called the _____________.(point of contact / extreme point)

Answer 1

Answer:

point of contact.

Step-by-step explanation:

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. The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points.
