YES , I agree the length of the tangent of a circle PA always less than OP where O is center of circle
Step-by-step explanation:
Center of Circle = O
Tangent Drawn from P point oytside Circle
Let say Tangent touches Circle at A
=> Tangent Length = OA
in Δ OAP
AP ⊥ OA ( as PA is tangent)
= OP² = AP² + OA²
=> OP² > AP²
=> OP² > PA²
=> OP > PA
=> PA < OP
the length of the tangent of a circle PA always less than OP
