Question

Two tangents each instersects a circle at opposite endpoints of the same diameter. Is it possible for the two tangents to intersect each other, outside the circle? Explain why or why not , using the the informatiom you learned in this lesson

Answer 1

No, as tangents connected to a circle on opposite sides of the diameter would be essentially rays, or continuous lines in one direction, that extend infinitely in opposite directions. 

Answer 2

No, the tangents can't intersect outside of the circle. When they do intersect, the measurment of the angles they form is a half the difference of the intercepted arcs then both of the intercepted arcs would measure 180 degrees.
