Relationship Between Tangents and Radius of a Circle
2017-03-20 03:07
This applet demonstrates the geometric relationship between a tangent and the radius of a circle. It visually illustrates the theorem that a tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency. The construction includes the circle, center, tangent points, segments, and measurements of distances and angles, aiding students in exploring circle properties and tangent theorems.
