In Fig. if AB = 8 cm and PE = 3 cm, then AE =A. 11 cm B. 7 cm C. 5 cm D. 3 cm |

Answer» Answer is C. 5 cm Given: AB = 8 cm PE = 3 cm Property: If two tangents are drawn to a circle from one external point, then their tangent segments (lines joining the external point and the points of tangency on circle) are equal. By above property, AB = AC = 8 cm (tangent from A) PE = CE = 3 cm (tangent from E) Now, AE = AC – CE ⇒ AE = 8 cm – 3 cm ⇒ AE = 5 cm Hence, AE = 5 cm |
