Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 268 People


From an external point p tangents pa and pb are drawn to a circle with centre o . if cd is the tangent to the circle at a point e and pa =12 cm find the perimeter of triangle pcd

★ CIRCLES ★

Given : PA and PB are tangent to the circle
with centre  O.


CD is a tangent to the circle at E which intersects PA and PB in C and D
respectively and PA = 12 cm.


Lengths of
tangents drawn from as external point to a circle are equal.


∴ PA = PB = 12 cm


CA = CE


DB = DE


Now
perimeter of ΔPCD = PC + CD + PD


= PC + (CE
+ ED) + PD


= PC + (CA
+ DB) + PD


= (PC +
CA) + (DB + PD)


= PA + PB


= 12 cm +
12 cm


= 24 cm.
