To determine whether the statement "The length of tangent from an external point P on a circle with center O is always less than OP" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a circle with center O and an external point P. A tangent line is drawn from point P to touch the circle at point T. **Hint:** Visualize the scenario by sketching a circle with its center and the external point. ### Step 2: Identify the Tangent and Radius ...
