Question

If P is the centre of the circle with radius 6.7cm, d (P , R) =7.5 cm, find the position of the point R with respect to the circle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

point R lies outside the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that P is the centre of the circle,

also, radius = 6.7 cm

=> any point taken inside or on the circle will be ≤ 6.7cm

here, we are given with a point R such that distance PR = 7.5cm

ie., distance from the centre to the point R = 7.5 cm

which clearly is larger than 6.7 cm (radius)

so, we can say that, the point R lies outside the circle
