To draw a pair of tangents to a circle which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°, it is required to draw tangents at endpoints of those two radii of the circle, the angle between them should be A. 135° B. 90° C. 60° D. 120° |

Answer» D. 120° The angle between them should be 120° because in that case the figure formed by the intersection point of pair of tangent, the two end points of those-two radii tangents are drawn) and the centre of the circle is a quadrilateral. From figure it is quadrilateral, ∠POQ + ∠PRQ = 180° [∴ sum of opposite angles are 180°] 60°+ θ = 180° θ = 120 Hence, the required angle between them is 120°. |
