Question

what is measure of an angle made by
a tangent and the radius of a circle at the point of contact

​

Answer 1

When a radius is drawn to a point of tangency, the angle formed is always a right (90 degree) angle. This fact is commonly applied in problems with two tangent segments drawn to a circle from a point.

Answer 2

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

• The measure of the angle made by a tangent and the radius of the circle at the point of contact is 90-degrees.
• It is found to be perpendicular.
• The point of contact/tangency of the given circle is the point where the straight line touches the circle on its circumference.
• For a given tangent, there is only one point of tangency.
