Question

Jamal wants to construct a tangent line to circle O that passes through point M. What is the first step in his construction.

A) Construct a radius of circle O.
B) Inscribe a right triangle in circle O.
C) Draw a diameter passing through point O.
D) Draw a segment connecting points O and M.

Answer 1

d. draw a segment connecting points O and M

Answer 2

Answer D

a tangent is a straight line that touches a curve at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.

to draw a tangent to a circle passing through a certain point ,

we need to first draw a line segment joining the center of circle and that point

So, the answer in this case is that we draw a line segment between O and M
