The tangents are drawn from yhe points (4,5) to the circle x2+y2-4x-2y-11=0.the area of quadrilateral form by this tangentand radii. pls help me quickely.


The given point A is 4,5 and from the circle x2+y2-4x-2y-11=0C 2,1 and radius = g2+f2-c=4So distance from center to point A = 4-22+5-12=20So in right angle triangle ABC, AB=AC2-BC2=20-16=2So area of triangle ABC= 12×Base×Height=12×2×4= 4 square unitNow same area will be of right angle triangle ACD.So area of quadrilateral ABCD= 4+4=8 square unit
