Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let us consider a circle with center O and radius 12 cm

A tangent PQ is drawn at point P such that PQ = 16 cm

To Find : Length of OQ

Now, OP ⏊ PQ [Tangent at any point on the circle is perpendicular to the radius through point of contact]

∴ In right - angled △POQ,

By Pythagoras Theorem

[i.e. (hypotenuse)² = (perpendicular)² + (base)² ]

(OQ)² = (OP)² + (PQ)²

(OQ² = (12)² + (16)²

625 = 144 + 256

(OQ)² = 400

OQ = 20 cm

So,

Assertion is correct, and Reason is also correct.
