Question

How is a tangent different from a chord? Explain.

Answer 1

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 :)

Answer 2

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.
