Tangents To A Circle
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
A tangent just grazes a circle, touching it at a single point. There is one beautiful fact that makes every tangent question solvable: the tangent is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point where they touch. That right angle is the key that unlocks the equation of the tangent.
In this lesson you will use the radius-tangent right angle, together with the gradient rules you already know, to find the equation of a tangent at a given point on a circle, without any calculus. Find the gradient of the radius, take its negative reciprocal, and you have the gradient of the tangent.
