Question

the length of the tangent drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O is always less than OP is this statement true. gobe 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

Yeah

Its true........
