Sakshi: 9. Tangents & Secants To A Circle

The document contains 25 questions about tangents and secants to circles. It asks about properties such as the number of tangents that can be drawn from an outside point to a circle, the angle between a tangent and radius, parallel tangents, and relationships between lengths when tangents are drawn. The answers section provides the responses to each question, covering topics such as lengths, angles, areas of segments, and how many circles can pass through given points.
