from a point q, the length of the tangent to a circle is 24cm and the distance from the centre is 25cm.the radius of the circle is
Answers
Let QP be the tangent, such that, Point of contact is P.
Length of the tangent to a circle = 24cm
$$PQ=24cm$$
Let O be the centre of the circle.
OQ=25cm
We have to find the radius OP
Since QP is tangent
OP perpendicular to QP (Since, Tangent is Perpendicular to Radius at the point of contact)
So, ∠OPQ=90
∘
So apply Pythogoras theorem to right triangle, OPQ;
