A circle is a collection of all points in a plane which are at a constant distance (radius) from a fixed point (centre).

Card 2Line-Circle Relationships

What are the three possible positions of a line with respect to a circle?

Answer

1. Non-intersecting line: No common points with the circle 2. Secant: Two common points with the circle 3. Tangent: Exactly one common point with the circle

Card 3Tangent Definition

What is a tangent to a circle?

Answer

A tangent to a circle is a line that intersects the circle at only one point. This point is called the point of contact.

Card 4Line-Circle Relationships

What is a secant of a circle?

Answer

A secant is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points.

Card 5Tangent Definition

What is the point of contact?

Answer

The point of contact is the common point where a tangent touches the circle. The tangent is said to touch the circle at this point.

Card 6Tangent-Radius Theorem

State Theorem 10.1 about tangent and radius.

Answer

The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

Card 7Number of Tangents

How many tangents can be drawn at any point on a circle?

Answer

At any point on a circle, there can be one and only one tangent.

Card 8Normal to Circle

What is the normal to a circle at a point?

Answer

The normal to a circle at a point is the line containing the radius through the point of contact. It is perpendicular to the tangent at that point.
