Topics in Circles

1

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
2

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
3

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)
4

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
