Answer 1

So, what we see is: The tangent to a circle is a special case of the secant, when the two end points of its corresponding chord coincide. Activity 2 : On a paper, draw a circle and a secant PQ of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Let AB be a secant with its corresponding chord PQ in the circle.

Let us think of a case where chord shifts towards the outside of the circle.

The chord PQ will gradually decrease in size and finally a point will come where the two points will finally coincide to form a single point .

And at that point, the secant AB will touch the circle at only point and form a tangent
