Question

question 19 of 44 which of the following is a point of tangency on the circle below? click here for long description a. point g b. point d c. point f d. point e

Explanation:

A point of tangency is the point where a tangent line touches a circle (intersects the circle at exactly one point).

• Point G is on the tangent line but outside the circle, so it's not the point of tangency.
• Point D is on a secant (a line that intersects the circle at two points), so it's not a point of tangency.
• Point E is on the circle but not on the tangent line (it's on the circumference, and the tangent is at F).
• Point F is where the tangent line touches the circle (intersects at exactly one point), so it's the point of tangency.

Answer:

C. Point F
