Topics in Circles
Introduction to Circle-Line Relationships
- A circle is a collection of all points in a plane at a constant distance (radius) from a fixed point (centre)
- When a line and circle are given in a plane, there are exactly three possible relationships
- Non-intersecting line: No common points between line and circle
Tangent to a Circle - Properties and Theorems
- At any point on a circle, there exists exactly one tangent
- A tangent is the limiting case of a secant when both intersection points coincide
- The radius through the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent
Number of Tangents from Different Points
- From a point inside the circle: No tangents possible (0 tangents)
- From a point on the circle: Exactly one tangent possible (1 tangent)
- From a point outside the circle: Exactly two tangents possible (2 tangents)
Equal Tangent Lengths from External Point
- From any external point, two tangents can be drawn to a circle
- The lengths of these two tangents are always equal
- This property is proven using congruent right triangles
