Does a target to a circle never pass through the center of the circle?
is that tangent?
yES
A tangent to a circle circle passes through the center of a circle. Sometimes, always, or never? I believe it's never, correct?
i feel the same
I really hope someone's not going going to force me to stay up hours just to receive a yes or no response. :P
It's never, you are correct.
unless it's a point circle........... :P
Oh, thank you. :)
Last night, I had to stay hear hours to just get a simple yes or no. My dad had a baseball bat and threatened to beat me to death if I didn't get off the computer.

Tangent of a circle = line touches the circle = one intersection point with the circle. If it passes through the centre, there are 2 intersection points with the circle => not tangent anymore. So, it's never.
