In the adjoining figure, the radius of a circle with centre C is 6cm , line AB is a tangent at A. Answer the following question
(i) What is the measure of `angle CAB`? Why?
(ii) What is the distance of point C from line AB? Why?
(iii) d(A,B)=6cm, find d(B,C).
(iv) What is the measure of `angleABC` ? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i)`thereforeangleCAB=90^@` (ii) `therefore` the distance of point C from line AB is 6cm .(iii) `therefore d(A,B)=6sqrt2`cm
(iv) `therefore angle ABC=45^@`
