Q & A

What is the definition of a tangent line to a circle?

A tangent line to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at exactly one point, called the point of tangency.

What is the relationship between a tangent line and the radius of a circle at the point of tangency?

The tangent line is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of tangency, forming a right angle (90 degrees).

What is the significance of the Pythagorean theorem in the context of tangents to a circle?

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to calculate the length of a tangent line from a point outside the circle. It relates the distance from the external point to the center of the circle, the radius of the circle, and the length of the tangent.

What formula is used to calculate the length of a tangent from an external point?

The length of the tangent, AB, can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: AB = √(AP² - BP²), where AP is the distance from the external point to the center of the circle and BP is the radius of the circle.

What does the term 'internal tangent' refer to in geometry?

An internal tangent is a line that touches two circles at exactly one point, and the line lies between the circles, passing through the region between their centers.

How do you calculate the length of an internal tangent between two circles?

The length of an internal tangent can be calculated using the formula: AB = √(PR² - (R1 + R2)²), where PR is the distance between the centers of the two circles, and R1 and R2 are the radii of the two circles.

What is an external tangent between two circles, and how is its length determined?

An external tangent is a line that touches two circles at exactly one point, and the line lies outside both circles. Its length can be calculated using the formula: AB = √(PR² - (R1 - R2)²), where PR is the distance between the centers, and R1 and R2 are the radii of the two circles.

What is Pitot’s theorem, and what does it describe?

Pitot’s theorem applies to a tangential quadrilateral, which is a quadrilateral where all sides are tangent to a circle. The theorem states that the sum of the lengths of opposite sides is equal: AB + CD = AD + BC.

How can Pitot’s theorem be used to solve problems involving tangents in a quadrilateral?

Pitot’s theorem can be used to solve for missing side lengths in a tangential quadrilateral by setting up the equation AB + CD = AD + BC, where the lengths of the sides can be substituted to find unknown values.

How is the Pythagorean theorem applied to solve the length of a tangent line in the example where the radius is 7 cm and the distance from the external point is 25 cm?

In this example, the Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the length of the tangent, PB, with the formula PB = √(AP² - r²). Given AP = 25 cm and r = 7 cm, we calculate PB = √(25² - 7²) = √(625 - 49) = √576 = 24 cm.
