Question
Two tangents drawn at the ends of a.diameter of a circle, if extended, will beat an angle of:
Solution
The two tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle, if extended, will meet at a right angle (90 degrees). This is because a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact. Since the diameter is a straight line passing through the center of the circle and ending at two points on the circle, the two tangents drawn at these points will be perpendicular to the two halves of the diameter, thus forming a right angle when they meet.
