Question

The radius of the circle with the center O is 2.3cm & if the OQ =3.2 cm then where is the point Q lies?

Answer 1

The radius of the circle with the center O is 2.3 cm and if OQ = 3.2 cm, then the Q lies outside the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Here, the center of the circle is at O and its radius is r = 2.3 cm.

• The other point is Q, whose distance from the center is OQ = 3.2 cm.

• Since, r < OQ or, OQ > r, we can say that the point Q lies outside the circle.

Note:

However we can state -

1. If OQ = r, the point Q lies on the circumference of the circle.
2. If OQ < r, the point Q lies inside the circle.
