11. If the lines \( 5 x+12 y=3 \) and \( 10 x+24 y-58=0 \) are tangents to a circle, then find the radius of the circle. |

Answer» Given tangents are- 5x + 12y = 3 ...(i) 5x + 12y = 29...(ii) The tangents are parallel in this case. Now, the chord formed by two parallel tangents of a circle is the diameter of the circle. \(d = |\frac{c_{2}-{c_{1}}}{\sqrt{a²+b²}}|\\d=|\frac{-29+3}{5²+12²}|\\d=|\frac{-26}{13}| \\d=2\) Now, d =2r r = 1 unit |
