==Proofs and verification of properties of tangents==
+
The correct use of reasoning is at the core of mathematics, especially in constructing proofs. Many statements, especially in geometry. Recall that a proof is made up of several mathematical statements, each of which is logically deduced from a previous statement in the proof, or from a theorem proved earlier, or an axiom, or the hypotheses. The main tool, we use in constructing a proof, is the process of deductive reasoning.
+
+
We start the study of this chapter in deductive reasoning using several examples.
+
+
we can verify the theorems by practical construction. And also by using GeoGebra tool.
+
==Tangents to a circles:==
+
*Tangent: line that intersects a circle in exactly one point, called the point of tangency
+
*Radius from centre of circle to the point of tangency is always perpendicular to the tangent line. If
+
*The radius is not perpendicular to the line, the line is not tangent to the circle.
+
*Recall the Pythagorean Theorem:
+
*Use the fact that a tangent line and the radius through that point of tangency are perpendicular to solve for a third value. Show how you can also use this fact to deduce whether or not a line is tangent to a specific circle.
+
*Tangents from an external point are equal in length.
+
==Types of tangents==
+
*Recognise the difference between a secant and a tangent of a circle.
+
*Construct a tangent to a circle at a given point on it.
+
*Construct and verify that, the radius drawn at the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent.
+
*Construct tangents to a circle from an external point.
+
*Recognise the properties of direct common tangents and the transverse common tangents.
+
==Touching circles==
+
Common tangents of two circles How many common tangents do two circles have. Informally draw all different cases, with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 common tangents.
+
+
For any two different circles, there are five possibilities regarding their common tangents:
+
*One circle lies inside the other. They have no common tangents.
+
*One circle touches the other from inside. There is one common tangent, located at this touching point.
+
*The two circles intersect in two points. They have two common tangents, which lie symmetrically to the axis connecting the two centres.
+
*The two circles touch each other from outside. They have three common tangents.
+
*The two circles lie outside of each other. They have four common tangents.
