A tangent intersects a circle at only one point, while a chord intersects the circle at two points. Also, a chord is contained within a circle, but a tangent is outside the circle, except for the point of tangency, which lies on the circle. Hope this helps :)

Hello!

1. A chord is a ray joining 2 points situated on a given curve.

2. A tangent is a ray that passes through only one point situated on the curve.

<h3>Percentage</h3>

Percentage is used in expressing a fraction number or decimal in fraction of 100. It is expressed using the '%' sign.

Given a total shot of 100, since the player took 70% of the shot, hence:

Total shot taken by the player = 70% of 100 = 0.7 * 100 = 70 shots.

Total shot shot missed = (100% - 60%) of 70 = 40% of 70 = 0.4 * 70 = 28 shots.

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.
