The radius of a circle is perpendicular to a line segment that is tangent to a circle at the point where the radius and the line segment intersect.
5
Line tangent to the circle Radius Radius is perpendicular to the tangent line at the point of tangency
6
Using this information you can solve for the unknown length of a line segment or the length of the radius if you known the length of the other line segment or radius.
