Question

The length of a tangent of a circle with centre o from a point p which is outside of the circle is always less than OP do you agree give reason ? With diagram

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume the tangent is PQ

lets us assume the line passing through the centre is PO

let the point of contact be R.

lets assume both aare equal

PQ=PO

PQ=PR+RO

therefore The length of a tangent of a circle with centre o from a point p which is outside of the circle is always less than OP
