प्रश्न
A pair of tangents can be constructed from a point P to a circle of radius 3.5 cm situated at a distance of 3 cm from the centre.
विकल्प
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
Since, the radius of the circle is 3.5 cm
i.e., r = 3.5 cm and a point P situated at a distance of 3 cm from the centre
i.e., d = 3 cm
We see that,
r > d
i.e., a point P lies inside the circle.
So, no tangent can be drawn to a circle from a point lying inside it.
