$\huge \bold {♡Answer♡}$

$<font color= blue>$

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. ... A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points.Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem. If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.❤

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\pink{tangent \: of \: a \: circle}}}}$

$<font color=red>a tangent line to a circle is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point, never entering the circle's interior. Tangent lines to circles form the subject of several theorems, and play an important role in many geometrical constructions and proofs.</p><p>$

$\huge\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\pink{secant \: of \: a \: circle}}}}$

$<font color=purple>secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve at a minimum of two distinct points. The word secant comes from the Latin word secare, meaning to cut. In the case of a circle, a secant will intersect the circle at exactly two points.$
