Question

What should be the angle between the tangent and radius?

  1. 180°
  2. 90°

tangent
If we draw a radius that meets the circumference at the same point, the angle between the radius and the tangent will always be exactly 90°.

The correct answer is: 90°


    The angle between the tangent and radius is 90degree.
