Question

In the given figure, the value of BP is
(a) 4cm (B) 5cm (c ) 6cm (D) 15cm
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of BP = 6cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure and the two tangent theorem which states that "if two tangent segments are drawn to one circle from the same external point, then they are congruent" we can say that

i) BP = BR = 6cm

ii) CQ = CP = 5cm

iii) AR = AQ = 4cm

The two tangent theorem is a well known theorem and can be referenced from any secondary school Maths book.

Therefore the value of BP = 6cm.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By using theorem = which states that two tangents drawn from external points to a circle are equal .

Therefore BR=BP= 6 cm .

Answer~ is 6 cm.
