The circle is a term that has three possibilities, including the non-intersecting point, single common point, or two common points. In the single common point, the line will touch the circle, whereas the line will cut the circle in the two common points.
The circle has different components, and these components are discussed below:
Tangents are lines in circles that connect one point on the circle to another point at the same time. Each point lies on a different tangent.
The secant of the circle has two points in common with the circle. The secant will cut the circle at two points. And it will form the chord of a circle.
Radius is the distance from the circle that remains constant.
Basically, the diameter is the entire length that passes through a circle.
The line that joins any two circle points is known as a chord.
It is given that AB is the tangent of the circle at point Q. O is the centre.
We have to prove that OQ ⊥ AB.
Take a point P on AB and join it.
If point p lies in the circle, then AB will be a secant.
OP > OQ.
