Question:
A pair of tangents can be constructed from a point P to a circle of radius 3.5 cm situated at a distance of 3 cm from the centre.
Solution:
False
Since, the radius of the circle is 3.5 cm i.e., r = 3.5 cm and a point P situated at a distance of 3 cm from the centre i.e.,d= 3 cm
We see that, r > d
i.e., a point P lies inside the circle. So, no tangent can be drawn to a circle from a point lying inside it.
