| + | A line which touches a circle at exactly one point is called a tangent line and the point where it touches the circle is called the point of contact. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Properties of tangent ==== |
| + | The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. We can also conclude that at any point on a circle there can be one and only one tangent. |
| + | *Explain the theorem that if two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent. |
| + | *Solve for an unknown in a problem involving tangents. |
| + | *Apply properties of tangents to solve problems involving triangles circumscribed about a circle. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Tangents from a point outside the circle ==== |
| + | The lengths of two tangents from an external point are equal. |
| + | |
| + | The tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equally inclined to the line joining the point to the centre of the circle. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Secant ==== |
| + | A line which intersects the circle in two distinct points is called a secant line (usually referred to as a secant). |
| + | |

| + | ==== Common tangents ==== |
| + | Common tangents are lines or segments that are tangent to moret han one circle at the same time. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Direct common tangents ==== |
| + | The centres of the circles lie on the same side of the common tangent.(dct) |
