Science Buddies: Circles, Tangent Lines and Triangles
Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. The semicircle has two tangent lines that meet at point T. You need to prove that a line drawn from A to T bisects CD. You'll also learn how to create an interactive...

Illustrative Mathematics: G C Tangent to a Circle From a Point
This task builds on a previous one called ''Right triangles inscribed in circles I.'' Here students are asked to construct a tangent line to a circle from a point outside of the circle. Aligns with G-C.A.4.
