Geometric Constructions Tangents- Definition
A line is a tangent to a circle if it touches
the circle at only one point
Geometric Constructions Tangents- Definition
Two curves are tangent to each other if the
touch in one and only one place
Geometric Constructions Tangents- Geometric location of tangent point
The tangent point of a straight line and circle will lie at the
intersection of a perpendicular to the straight line that passes
through the center of the circle.
Geometric Constructions Tangents- Geometric location of tangent point
The tangent point of two circles will lie on the circumferences
of both circles and on a straight line connecting the circle
centers

Gothic vertical style.
Always use capital letters.
Text height 3~5 mm.
Space between lines of text is about of text height.
Space between words equal to the space required for
writing a letter “O”.
