What to Focus On

  • A single point lies on infinitely many circles.
  • Two distinct points lie on infinitely many circles.
  • Three non-collinear points determine exactly one circle.
  • A tangent has exactly one common point with a circle.
  • A secant intersects a circle in two points.
  • A line with no common point is neither tangent nor secant.
  • Touching circles meet at exactly one point.
  • The common point is the point of contact.
  • The point of contact lies on the line joining the centres.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A tangent can cut a circle in two points, just like a secant.

The point of contact of touching circles can be anywhere on the circles.

A circle can pass through any three points, even if they are on the same straight line.

Memory Tips

Tangent touches a circle at exactly one point

Secant cuts a circle at two points

Tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact

Converse of tangent theorem
