If two tangents are inclined at 60˚ are drawn to a circle of radius 3

1.	If two tangents are inclined at 60˚ are drawn to a circle of radius 3cm thenfind length of each tangent
Answer» ANSWER: Let PA and PB be the two tangents to a CIRCLE with centre O and radius 3 ∴∠APO=∠BPO = 2 1 ×∠APB = 2 1 ×60 0 =30 0 Also, OA⊥AP and OB⊥BP In a RIGHT ANGLED triangle OAP, tan30 0 = PA 3 ⇒ 3 1 = PA 3 ⇒PA=3 3 cm ⇒PA=PB=3 3 cm Step-by-step explanation: Please MARK mea s a brainlist

Answer»

Let PA and PB be the two tangents to a CIRCLE with centre O and radius 3

∴∠APO=∠BPO

×∠APB

×60

=30

Also, OA⊥AP and OB⊥BP

In a RIGHT ANGLED triangle OAP,

tan30

⇒

⇒PA=3

⇒PA=PB=3
