Real Life applications
Bicycle

The bicycle wheel is a circle.The ground acts as a tangent to the circle and the radius of the wheel is perpendicular to the tangent.

Basketball
The basketball balances on the table at a point of contact at the circumference, with the ball's radius being perpendicular to the tangent, which is the table.

Do you know of any other real life examples we can use this property in? Do share it with us using our tagboard! :)
