Answer:

Yes, this is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a circle of centre O

Let a point P outside of circle and draw a tangent to the circle and mark that point as Q.

Join OQ and OP

we know that tangent in circle maje a 90 degree angle with centre.

so,

<OQP=90

and Triangle OPQ is a right angled triangle where angle P=90'

and OP is hypotenuse of the triangle.

so,

OP is always longest then OQ.
