Question

the relation between the tangents and the radius of a circle at the point of contact is.......​

Answer 1

Answer:

radius is perpendicular at the point of contact where tangent meet

Answer 2

The tangent and the radius of a circle at the same point of contact,are perpendicular with each other.

- The radius is a straight line from the centre of the circle to any other point on the circumference of the circle.

- And,the tangent is a straight line which touches only one specific point of the circle's circumference and passes through.

- Now,if the second point of the radius and the touching poimt of the tangent is same on the circumference of a circle,then those two lines will create a 90° angle.

- With this 90° angle principle we can draw the tangents on any given point on the circumference of any circle.
