Question

Rita is 29m away from the centre of a circular flower bed. Find the distance she has to cover to reach the flower bed along the tangential path, if the radius of the flower bed is 20m

Answer 1

in the given figure ,
OQ is the radius=20m
OP is the distance of rita from the center=29m
QP is the tangent
Using pythogorous theorem find QP
QP*QP=OP*OP-OQ*OQ
QP*QP=29*29-20*20
 QP*QP=841-400
 QP*QP=441
QP=21m
therefore rita has to cover 21m to reach the flower bed along the tangential path
