  1. Tangents

  2. Tangents • A line is tangent to the circle if it intersects the circle in exactly one point (point of tangency) B AB is tangent to P. A P

  3. Tangents **If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius down to the point of tangency. (Converse is also true)

  4. Tangents • If 2 segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent. A AB BC B C
