What to Focus On

  • A tangent intersects a circle at exactly one point.
  • A secant intersects a circle at two points.
  • A non-intersecting line has no common point with the circle.

  • Tangent at the point of contact is perpendicular to the radius.
  • OP is the shortest distance from the centre to the tangent line.
  • If a point on a tangent lies inside the circle, the line becomes a secant.

  • Inside the circle: no tangent.
  • On the circle: exactly one tangent.
  • Outside the circle: exactly two tangents.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A tangent can pass through a point inside the circle.

A point on the circle has two tangents.

A point outside the circle has only one tangent.
