Line LJ is a diameter of circle K. If tangents to circle K are constructed through points L and J, what relationship would exist between the two tangents? Explain.

A tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the tangent point.

If tangents are constructed through points L and J, then the tangents are perpendicular to the diameter and parallel to each other.
