Geometry and Tangent Theorems

The video tutorial covers tangent theorems in geometry, explaining how a line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius, forming a right angle. It demonstrates this concept with a diagram and emphasizes the presence of right triangles when tangents and radii intersect. An example problem is solved using the Pythagorean theorem to find a missing side, and the process of simplifying square roots is explained, providing both decimal and radical answers.
