Given : AB = 8cm
PE=3cm
PE=DP=BD=CE (tangent)
therefore CE= 3cm
AE=AC-EC
as AB= CA
AE= 8-3
____5cm
PE=3cm
PE=DP=BD=CE (tangent)
therefore CE= 3cm
AE=AC-EC
as AB= CA
AE= 8-3
____5cm

therefore
AB = BC
AB = 8 cm
hence ...
AC is also 8cm ( AB = AC ) .......(1)
Similarly,
PE = CE
It is given that,
PE = 3
Therefore,
CE = 3 …… (2) ( PE = CE )
Subtracting equations (1) and (2), we get,
AC − CE = 8 − 3
From the figure we can see that,
AC − CE = AE
Therefore,
AE = 8 − 3
AE = 5 cm
