In the given figure AB is a chord of a circle, with centre O, such that `AB=16 cm` and radius of circle is 10 cm. Tangent at A and B intersect each order at P. Find the length of PA. |
|
Answer» AB=16cmAL=AB/2=8cm In `/_OAL` `AL^2+OL^2=OA^2`So we get, OL=6cmHence,` tan(theta)=(OA)/(PA)=(OL)/(AL)``(PA)=(OA)*(AL)/(OL)`Therefore, PA=80/6=40/3. |
