Tangent Lines and Circle Properties

The video tutorial by Shampasari at Asan Academy covers the concept of tangents in geometry. It begins with an introduction to tangents, explaining that a tangent is a straight line that touches a circle at only one point. The video then explores the properties of tangents, such as the maximum number of tangents from an external point, their equal lengths, and the perpendicularity of tangents to the radius. The tutorial also demonstrates the congruency of triangles formed by tangents and the circle's center. An example problem is solved to find the radius of a circle inscribed in a triangle, using the properties of tangents. The video concludes with contact information for further questions.

What is a tangent in relation to a circle?

• A line that touches the circle at exactly one point

• A line that passes through the center of the circle

• A line that is parallel to the circle

• A line that intersects the circle at two points

How many tangents can be drawn from an external point to a circle?

• Four

• One

• Two

• Three

What is the relationship between the lengths of two tangents drawn from the same external point to a circle?
