Question

Radius of the circle with centre O is 7cm (OP) =6 cm ,then position of P is ....of the circle

a) In the exterior b) on the circle
c) in the interior d) on the centre​

Answer 1

Answer:

c. in the interior of the circle

Answer 2

Answer: (c) in the interior

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-
Radius of the circle = 7 cm
Centre of the circle = Point O
Line segment OP = 6 cm

(a) In the exterior - If its exceeding the length of the radius.

(b) on the circle -  If the length of the line segment is equal to the radius of the circle.

(c) in the interior - If the length of the line segment is less than the length of the radius of the circle.

(d) on the centre - If the length of the line segment is 0.


We see that the length of the line segment OP < the radius of the circle,
6 cm < 7 cm.

Hence, the position of P is in the interior of the circle.
