One of the most important and exam oriented question from Chapter name- circles
Topic – Angle properties of circles
Chapter number- 15
In this question a secant PAB and a
tangent PT to a circle are given
Also it is given that (i) PT = 8 cm and PA = 5 cm,
Now we have to find the length of AB
(ii) PA = 4.5 cm and AB = 13.5 cm,
Now we have to find the length of PT.
