In2 triangle ABC, we have
BP= BQ = 3cm
AP= AR = 4cm
( tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal).
So, RC = AC-AR
=11-4=7cm
Hence RC= CQ= 7 cm
Then, BC= BQ+QC
7+3=10cm
BP= BQ = 3cm
AP= AR = 4cm
( tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal).
So, RC = AC-AR
=11-4=7cm
Hence RC= CQ= 7 cm
Then, BC= BQ+QC
7+3=10cm
