In the given figure, QR is a common tangent to the given circles, touching externally at the point T. The tangent at T meets QR at P. If PT= 3.8 cm then the length of QR is(a) 1.9 cm (b) 3.8 cm (c) 5.7 cm (d) 7.6 cm |
Answer» Correct answer is (d) 7.6 cm We know that tangent segments to a circle from the same external point are congruent. Therefore, we have PT = PO = 3.8 cm and PT = PR 3.8 cm ∴ QR = QP + PR = 3.8 + 3.8 = 7.6 cm |
