If from a external point P of a circle with centre O, two tangents PQ and PRare drawn such that angle of QPR=120. prove tht 2PQ=PO.

@Mohil but how will we prove that PQ+PR=PO????

In  ▲OPQ, we have
∠PQO=90⁰ (the tangent at any point is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact) and ∠QPO=1/2 X ∠QPR= 1/2 X 120⁰= 60⁰ (the two tangents drawn from an external point are equally inclined to the line segment joining the centre to that point and so ∠QPO=∠RPO) In right ▲OPQ, we have cos(∠QPO)=PQ/PO COS 60⁰ = PQ/PO 1/2=PQ/PO 2PQ=PO HENCE PROVED HOPE THIS HELPS....

 

How can you proove

good morning students,
students are confused mainly becoz of using cos@ and sin@.here  we need BC and BO so we can apply cos@ easily. this is the main reason behind the problem b/h=BC/OB then u will get the ans easily.that means we have done the problem according to the question.

In your question there is hell of spelling mistake.First learn english then mathematics okay.
