A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circumference of the circle at only one point. The angle between a tangent and radius is 9090 degrees. Tangents which meet at the same point are equal in length.
Explore, prove, and apply important properties of circles that have to do with things like arc length, radians, inscribed angles, and tangents.
The tangent makes a right angle at the point of tangency with the radius of a circle. Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle have the same length. A circle can have infinitely many tangents. We can draw exactly one tangent to a circle passing through a point that lies on a circle.
Circle Theorems. The three theorems for the intercepted arcs to the angle of two tangents, two secants or 1 tangent and 1 secant are summarized by the pictures below. If you look at each theorem, you really only need to remember ONE formula. The Formula.
In the diagram at the right, ∠AED is an angle formed by two intersecting chords in the circle. Notice that the intercepted arcs belong to the set of vertical angles. also, m∠BEC = 43º (vertical angle) m∠CEA and m∠BED = 137º by straight angle formed.
If each side of a polygon is tangent to a circle, the circle is said to be inscribed in the polygon and the polygon is said to be circumscribed about the circle. In Figure \(\PageIndex{7}\) circle 0 is inscribed in quadrilateral \(ABCD\) and \(ABCD\) is circumscribed about circle \(O\).
