Explain in your own words why you think a tangent of a circle is always perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency
Explain in your own words why you think angles formed by drawing lines from the ends of the diameter of a circle to its circumference form a right angle

Respuesta :

A radius and diameter are parts of a circle. Thus the reasons required in the question are given as;

i. A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius of a circle because they are always at a right angle.

ii. A line that is drawn from the end of a diameter of a circle to its circumference form a right angle because they are always perpendicular.

A circle is a figure that is bounded by a curved line which is called its circumference. Some of its parts are radius, diameter, chord, sector, etc.

  • A diameter is a line from one point on the circumference of a circle to another through its center.
  • A radius is a line drawn from the center of a circle to its circumference. Thus a radius is half of the diameter.
  • A tangent is an external line drawn to meet the circumference of a circle at a point,

Thus the reasons required in the question are given as;

i. A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius of a circle because they are always at a right angle.

ii. A line that is drawn from the end of a diameter of a circle to its circumference form a right angle because they are always perpendicular.
