Circles
- tangent to a circle is a line that touches the circle at only one point. There is only one tangent at a point on a circle.
- From a point lying outside a circle, two and only two tangents can be drawn to it.
- The lengths of the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
- A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
- A line whichintersects a circle at two distinct points is called secant of the circle.
- Alternative Segment Theorem : If a chord is drawn through the point of contact of a tangent to a circle, then the angles made by the chord with the tangent are respectively equal to the angles subtended by the chord in the alternate segments.
