JL is a diameter of circle K. If tangents to circle K are constructed through points L and J, what relationship would exist between the two tangents? Explain.

Respuesta :

i. Let t be the line tangent at point J. We know that a tangent line at a  point on a circle, is perpendicular to the diameter comprising that certain point.
So t is perpendicular to JL

let l be the tangent line through L. Then l is perpendicular to JL
 
ii. So t and l are 2 different lines, both perpendicular to line JL.

2 lines perpendicular to a third line, are parallel to each other, so the tangents t and l are parallel to each other.

Remark. Draw a picture to check the steps

Answer:

The 2 tangents on circle K would both be parallel to one another because they both form a 90º angle with the diameter of circle K. That would also make them both perpendicular to the diameter
