CCSS Description: (+) Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.
Applications of Functions: Drawing Tangent Lines WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is designed for use before Estimating Rates of Change (A). It provides some opportunities for learners to practice drawing tangents. Section A gives some circles, and the accuracy of the tangents can be checked by measuring the angle between the tangent and the radius at the point. Section B gives graphs and points for required tangents. The slope of the tangents are given as a guide for accuracy.
