Question

Given: Circle P with a point O outside of the circle. How many tangent lines can be drawn from point O to the Circle P?

A)0
B)1
C)2
D)Infinite

Answer 1

I believe it answer is 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

We can draw maximum 2 tangents from the point placed outside the circle.

A tangent is a line drawn through a point out side circle such that it meets the circle on its circumference at just one point.

The property of tangent is that it makes 90 degrees angle with the radius of the circle. There can be maximum 2 tangents to a circle.
