In triangle PAB
∠A+∠B+∠P=180
x+x+50=180 [ if tangents are drawn from same point then they are equal so PAB is a isoceles triangle ]

Krishna Iyer answered |
The answer can be 2 collinear points as well. We have three collinear points. Join one point to the other two points and then draw the perpendicular bisector for both the lines
Join the perpendicular bisectors. The point is the centre of the circle. And a circle can be formed then. Also two points can form a circle as the two points joines becomes a diameter.

Option D : The number of circles which can pass through three given non-collinear points is exactly one.
So, A is the correct Option

Constructions - join AS and join BT.
Case 1 (triangle ASP)
We know, ∠ASP = 900 (radius is perpendicular to tangent at point of contact)
So, in triangle ASP,
AP2 = PS2 + AS2
=> 132 = 122 + AS2
=> 169 = 144 + AS2
+> AS2 = 169 - 144 = 25
=> AS = √25 = 5cm
Since AS is radius, AP = Ak = 5 cm.
Case 2 (triangle BTQ)
We know, ∠BTQ = 900 (radius is perpendicular to tangent at point of contact)
So, in triangle BTQ,
BQ2 = QT2 + BT2
= 52 = 32 + BT2
=> 25 = 9 + BT2
=> BT2 = 25 - 9 = 9
=> BT = √16 = 4cm
Since BT is radius, BT = Bk 4cm
Now, PQ = AP + Ak + Bk + BQ
=> PQ = 13 + 5 + 4 + 5
=> PQ = 27 cm

Let radius of circle = R
∴ πR2 = 25π
⇒ R = 5cm
∴ Distance between two parallel tangents
= diameter = 2 x 5 = 10 cm.

Since the sides of the triangles are tangent to the circle. BR = BP,AR = AQ and CP = CQ
So, BP = 4cm and AQ = 5
CQ = 11-5 = 6 = CP
BC = BP + CP = 4 + 6 = 10 cm
So, BP = 4cm and AQ = 5
CQ = 11-5 = 6 = CP
BC = BP + CP = 4 + 6 = 10 cm

Kuldeep Kuldeep answered |
Solution:- The length of tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal.
In the figure, CA and CB are the tangents from external point of a circle and OA and OB are the two radius of a circle.
Draw a line OC, then you will get two triangles OAC and OBC.
In a ∆le AOC and ∆le BOC,
Angle OAC and OBC = 180 degree. Because, these are angles between the radii and tangents. So, there are two right angles.
The value for right angled triangle is 90 degree. Here, you can see both right angled triangle, so 90×2 = 180 degree.
Angle AOB = Angle OAC + Angle OBC - Angle ACB.
Given:- Angle ACB = 75 degree. , Angle OAC and OBC = 90 degree.
Angle AOB = 90 + 90 - 75.
Angle AOB = 180 -75.
Angle AOB =105 degree.
So, option d is correct friend.

Ananya Das answered |
POQ is an isosceles triangle because of 2 radii as sides. So by angle sum property, 2*angle OPQ=180-70=110
Angle OPQ=55°
Since Angle TPO is a right angle , because PT is a tangent,
Angle OPQ+Angle TPQ=90
Angle TPQ=90° - 55° = 35°
Angle OPQ=55°
Since Angle TPO is a right angle , because PT is a tangent,
Angle OPQ+Angle TPQ=90
Angle TPQ=90° - 55° = 35°

Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral having diagonals BD and AC, intersecting each other at point O.
(Consider BD as a chord)
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180 (Cyclic quadrilateral)
∠BCD = 180− 90 = 90
(Considering AC as a chord)
∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180 (Cyclic quadrilateral)
90+ ∠ABC = 180
∠ABC = 90
Each interior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is of 90.Hence it is a rectangle.

∵ OT is radius and PT is tangent

Rahul Kapoor answered |
Here AB is a diameter of the circle with centre O, two tangents PQ and RS drawn at points A and B respectively.
Radius will be perpendicular to these tangents.
Thus, OA ⊥ RS and OB ⊥ PQ
∠OAR = ∠OAS = ∠OBP = ∠OBQ = 90degree
Therefore,
∠OAR = ∠OBQ (Alternate interior angles)
∠OAS = ∠OBP (Alternate interior angles)
Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.

By pythagoras theorem ,

Let AP = AR = x

x + y = 8
x = 8 - y
x + z = 10 ⇒ 8 - y + z = 10 ⇒ z = 2 + y
y + z = 6 ⇒ y + 2 + y = 6 ⇒ y = 2
x = 6, z= 4

Degrees.
This is a common result in geometry, known as the "angle between tangents theorem." It states that the angle between two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal to the measure of the arc they intercept on the circle.
In this case, we know that the two tangents intersect an arc of measure 110 degrees on the circle. Therefore, the angle between the tangents is also 110 degrees.

A chord is the actual line segment determined by these two points, that is, the interval on the secant whose ends are at these positions But a secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve at a minimum of two distinct points. The difference is that the secant is not just limited to the circle it extends further.

Let O is the centre of the circle. l and m are two parallel tangents of the circle.
Radius of the circle = 4cm
Distance between two parallel tangents
= AB
= OA + OB
= 4cm + 4cm
= 8cm
Thus, distance between the parallel tangents land m is 8cm.
