Q In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, the radius of
the circle is 3 1 cm and PA is a tangent drawn to the circle from
point P If OP = x cm and AP = 6 2 cm then find the value of x

Dear Student,

In ∆AOP,AO ⊥ AP        Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact∴ ∆AOP is a right-angled triangle with ∠OAP = 90°
Using Pythagoras' Theorem,AO2 + AP2 = OP2⇒ 3
12 + 6 22 = OP2⇒ 48
05 = OP2⇒ OP = 48
05 cm = 6 93 cm approx
