In the adjoining figure, a tangent is drawn to a circle of radius 4 cm and centre C, at the point S. Find the length of the tangent ST, if CT = 10 cm.
पर्याय
`sqrt(21)` cm
`3sqrt(21)` cm
`2sqrt(21)` cm
`4sqrt(21)` cm
उत्तर
`2sqrt(21)` cm
Explanation:
The line from the centre to the tangent is perpendicular to the tangent.
∴ CS ⊥ ST
So, in right angled ΔCST, by the Pythagoras theorem,
CT2 = CS2 + ST2
(10)2 = (4)2 + ST2
ST2 = 100 – 16 = 84
⇒ ST = `2sqrt(21)`
Thus, the length of ST is `2sqrt(21)` cm.

In a triangle ABC, AC > AB, D is the midpoint BC, and AE ⊥ BC. Prove that: AB2 = AD2 - BC x CE + `(1)/(4)"BC"^2`
From given figure, In ∆ABC, If AC = 12 cm. then AB =?
Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
