Question

The angle between the tangent and radius drawn through the point of contact is

• A. 100°
• B. 70°
• C. 90°
• D. 80°

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to find the angle between the tangent and the radius of a circle drawn through the point of contact.

1. Fundamental Concept:
A tangent to a circle is always perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of contact.
This is a standard geometric property of a circle.

2. Therefore:
The angle between the tangent and the radius at the point of contact is $90^\circ$.

Final Answer:
The required angle is $ {90^\circ} $.
