A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn through the contact point. A tangent to a circle is a straight line which touches the circle at only one point. The lengths of the tangents drawn from a point outside the circle to the contact points are equal, and the angles formed between the tangents and radii are congruent.
18. Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle that passes through the contact point .

21. 8.1 (b) Construct the tangent to a circle passing through a point : a) on the circumference of the circle b) outside the circle
22. Activity 1 ( Construct the tangent to a circle passing through a point on the circumference of the circle ) Form a group of 5 students. Complete activity 1 by using roundtable method. Time given is 5 minutes. Then, a student will be chosen to present the work in front.
23. Activity 2 ( Construct the tangent to a circle passing through a point outside the circle ) Form a group of 5 students. Complete activity 2 by using roundtable method. Time given is 3 minutes. Then, a student will be chosen to present the work in front.
25. What is The Properties Related To Two Tangents From A Given Point Outside The Circle? Letβs do this activity together
26. 1. Use the previous figure and construct segment from centre to the contact point on the circumference of the circle.
27. 2. Using a ruler and a protractor, measure and record the lengths and angles in table. Value Angle Length
28. What do you get from this activity? 1. The lengths of the tangent from a given point A to each contact point are equal, PA = QA 2. The line that joins the given point outside the circle, point A , to the centre of the circle bisects. a) the angle between the two tangents, that is, b) the angle between the two radii that passes through the contact points, that is,
