Examples of tangency
tangency
Relations are used to define attributes such as tangency, parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, at exceptional points called inflection points, the tangent line does cross the curve at the point of tangency.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The property of tangency is defined as follows.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The line perpendicular to the tangent line to a curve at the point of tangency is called the normal line to the curve at that point.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This tangency condition indicates that the marginal rates of substitution between the two items traded are equal for the two persons.

Their point of tangency is chosen as the center of inversion in a circle that intersects each of the two touching circles in two places.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The base of this triangle is the given chord of the parabola, and the third vertex is the point of tangency such that the given tangent is parallel to the chord.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The two tangency chords of a tangential quadrilateral are the line segments that connect points on opposite sides where the incircle is tangent to these sides.

For the transverse Mercator, the axis of the cylinder lies in the equatorial plane, and the line of tangency is any chosen meridian, thereby designated the central meridian.

- The state of being tangent; having contact at a single point or along a line without crossing
- Contact: (electronics) a junction where things (as two electrical conductors) touch or are in physical contact; "they forget to solder the contacts"
- The parameter of tape-head alignment that determines the geometric relationship between the plane passing through the head gap and the tape passing over the gap. Ideally this plane would be exactly perpendicular to the plane that is tangential to the tape passing the gap. ...
- A condition that occurs when the edge of a stiffener or cover access hole is flush with the edge of a through hole.
- One of the adjustments made when aligning the heads of an audiotape recorder. This adjustment aligns the forwardness of the heads so that the tape meets them at the correct pressure.
