Question

We have a circle of diameter $100cm$. What is the maximum number of tangents that can be drawn for this circle?

• A. $100$
• B. Infinite
• C. $1000$
• D. (a) and (c) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Infinite

$\to$ A circle is a set of local points on a plane whose distance from a fixed point is constant.

$\to$ A tangent is the line which intersects a circle at one point only

$\to$ Hence infinite tangents can be drawn to the circle because a circle has an infinite number of points.
