circles
theoroms
Theorom 1 = a tangent which meets the radius of a circle at the point of contact is perpendicular to the radius
Theorom 2 = two tangents from a single external point which meet the same circle are equal
Theorom 3 = a line drawn through the end of a radius
concepts
A tangent is a line that intersects a circle at only one distinct point
A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two distinct points
A point inside the circle has no tangents passing through it
a point on the circle has 1 tangent passing through it
a point outside the circle has 2 tangents passing through it
the point where a tangent meets a circle is called the point of contact
