12-1Lines That Intersect Circles
This photograph was taken 216 miles above Earth. From this altitude, it is easy to see thecurvature of the horizon. Facts about circles can help us understand details about Earth.
Recall that a circle is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point, called the center of the circle. A circle with center C is called circle C, or C.

The interior of a circle is the set of all points inside the circle. The exterior of a circle is the set of all points outside the circle.

Find the length of each radius. Identify the point of tangency and write the equation of the tangent line at this point.
radius of C: 1
Center is (2, –2). Point on is (2, –1). Distance between the 2 points is 1.
radius of D: 3
Center is (2, 2). Point on is (2, –1). Distance between the 2 points is 3.
