    SECANTS OF
    A CIRCLE
    TANGENT
    Tangent line
    A tangent to a circle
    is a line coplanar with the
    circle and intersects it in one
    and only one point. The point
    of intersection of the line and
    the circle is called the point of

    1. If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is


    perpendicular to the radius drawn to the
    2.point of tangency.
    If a line is perpendicular to a radius of a
    circle at its endpoint that is on the circle,
    then the line is tangent to the circle.
    3. If two segments from the same exterior
    point are tangent to a circle, then the two
    segments are congruent.

    SECANT
    Secant line
    A secant is a line that
    intersects a circle at exactly
    two points. It contains the
    chord of the circle.
