Tangents and Secants to a Circle

In this topic, we will learn the concept of a line and a circle. It describes the different possibilities of how a line and a circle can be in contact with the help of figures. It also defines the meaning of a tangent concisely.

From this topic, we will learn about the tangent of a circle through an activity. It illustrates the point of contact with the help of an example. It discusses a related theorem and gives some results related to it.

In this topic, we will discuss various steps for the construction of tangents to a circle from an external point. It explains various statements with proofs along with their respective figures. It also consists of some solved examples here.

This topic enhances our knowledge on the segment of a circle formed by a secant. It includes a table which enlists the diagram, dimensions, and areas of the different geometrical figures.
