Question

The radius of circle G is 4 cm. What is the tangent

Answer 1

The tangent of a given circle is perpendicular to the radius a the point called point if tangency. The radius of the circle is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency. This property is especially useful in cases where the radius that connects to the point of tangency forms a part of right angle because the pythagorean theorem and trigonometry apply to right angles.
