Tangents of the circle

Presented by

Shivshankar Choudhary

And

Ram Singh

Slide 2

Objectives

This presentation explains:

Types of Tangents.

Construction of tangents.

Construction of incircle.

Construction of circumcircle

This project will help students understand the concept of tangents and how they are constructed.

Slide 3

Requirements

Compass

Pencils

Eraser

Scale

Set Square

Slide 4

Tangent Chord Secent

If line touches the circle at one point only that is called a tangent

If line connect the two point at the circle that is called a chord

If line intersect the circle at two point that is called secant

Slide 6

Defination of tangents

APB is called a tangent to the circle

The touching point P is called the point of contact.
