Ex: The wall was built with a perpendicular to support the roof. 
tangent
tangent
[nom]

a straight line that touches a curve or surface at exactly one point, known as the point of tangency

tangente

tangente

Ex: In geometry class, we learned how to draw a tangent to a circle, ensuring it only touched the circle at a single point.
