Any point P with coordinates (\(x, y\)) on the circumference of a circle can be joined to the centre (0, 0) by a straight line that forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with sides of length ...

As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...

So you have a circle. What is the area of that circle? Surely everyone remembers that the area of a circle is: Where Pi (π) is of course the number and r is the radius of the circle. Where does this ...
