Q5. - Geometry

Question

Name the tangent of $\odot o$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The tangent is $\overline{LH}$.

Step 1. Given information.

Figure is given.

Step 2. Concept used.

Tangent: It is a line which lies in the same plane as the circle O and intersects the circle at only one point. 

Step 3. Now find tangent.

Now, it can be observed that the line $\overleftrightarrow{LH}$ intersects the given circle at exactly one point namely L, so by the above definition, it is a tangent to the given circle.

 Therefore, The tangent is $\overline{LH}$.
