+=== Concept #7 Tangents ===
+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).
+==== Touching circles ====

+==== 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)

+==== Transverse common tangents ====
+The centres of the circles lie on either side of the common tangent(tct)
