Secant and Tangents Circle

The length of the tangents that can drawn to a circle of 7 cm radius from external point which is 25 cm away from the center

• 32 cm

• 25 cm

• 24 cm

• 18 cm

In the figure,PA and PB are the tangents to a circle of center 'O'. ∠AOB= 120⁰ then ∠APB =

• 60⁰

• 30⁰

• 120⁰

• 75⁰

What is the definition of a tangent?

• A line that intersects the circle on two points.

• A line that passes through the center of the circle.

• A line segment that passes through the center of the circle.

• A line that intersects the circle on only one point.

Where in the intersection of the lines shown?

• Inside the circle

• Outside the circle

• On the circle

• The secants do not intersect.

What can you conclude from the picture?

• m is parallel to circle C

• m is skew to circle C

• m bisects circle C

• m is tangent to circle C

A tangent to a circle is ________________________ to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.

• congruent

• perpendicular
