Question

Ramya Said the length of tangent of a circle with centre'O' from a point 'P' which is out side of the circle is always less than 'OP'. Do you agree? give reasons​

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement is true.

Let Tangent touches the circle at point M

M is point of contact on which radius will be perpendicular.

Observe triangle POM

Angle M is right angle (radius is perpendicular on point of contact)

∴ OP is Hypotenuse in triangle POM,

And we know that hypotenuse is the longest side in aright triangle.

Therefore length of tangent will always be less than OP.

Answer 2

Answer:

yes it is true. .

Step-by-step explanation:

it can be understood as tangent makes 90 degree angle. hence OP being the hypotenus is the longest side.
