Question

Line ef is tangent to circle g at point h. segment gh is a radius of circle g. what can be concluded about triangle fhg?

Answer 1

Answer:

Right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the line ef is tangent to the circle g at the point h and the segment gh is the radius of the circle g.

Now, A line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius to the point of tangency, thus making a right angle at the point h with the segment gh.

Therefore, the triangle FHG is a right triangle.

Answer 2

We know that

A line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius to the point of tangency.
so
Line ef is perpendicular to the segment gh

hence
Triangle FHG is a right triangle
