Question

If P is the centre of the circle with radius 6.7 cm, d(P, Q) = 7.6 cm, d(P, R) = 5.7 cm, find the positions of points R and Q.​

Answer 1

The point Q is outside the circle having center P.

The point R is inside the circle having center P.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that P is the center of the circle having a radius of 6.7 cm.

Now, the distance between point P and point Q is 7.6 cm.

As, 7.6 cm > 6.7 cm  

Hence, the point Q is outside the circle having center P.

Again, the distance between point P and point R is 5.7 cm.

As, 5.7 cm < 6.7 cm

Hence, the point R is inside the circle having center P. (Answer)
