The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the radius \( R \) of the circumcircle of triangle \( PAB \), where \( P(1, 8) \) is a point from which tangents are drawn to the circle defined by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y - 11 = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Rewrite the Circle Equation**: We start with the circle equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y - 11 = 0 \] We can rewrite this in standard form by completing the square. 2. **Complete the Square**: - For \( x \): \[ x^2 - 6x = (x - 3)^2 - 9 \] - For \( y \): \[ y^2 - 4y = (y - 2)^2 - 4 \] - Substitute back into the equation: \[ (x - 3)^2 - 9 + (y - 2)^2 - 4 - 11 = 0 \] \[ (x - 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 - 24 = 0 \] \[ (x - 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 24 \] This shows that the center of the circle \( C \) is \( (3, 2) \) and the radius \( r \) is \( \sqrt{24} = 2\sqrt{6} \). 3. **Find the Length of the Tangents**: The length of the tangents drawn from point \( P(1, 8) \) to the circle can be calculated using the formula: \[ L = \sqrt{d^2 - r^2} \] where \( d \) is the distance from point \( P \) to the center \( C(3, 2) \): \[ d = \sqrt{(1 - 3)^2 + (8 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (6)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 36} = \sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10} \] Now, substituting \( d \) and \( r \): \[ L = \sqrt{(2\sqrt{10})^2 - (2\sqrt{6})^2} = \sqrt{40 - 24} = \sqrt{16} = 4 \] 4. **Circumradius \( R \) of Triangle \( PAB \)**: The circumradius \( R \) of triangle \( PAB \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{abc}{4K} \] where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are the lengths of the sides of triangle \( PAB \) and \( K \) is the area of the triangle. Since \( PA \) and \( PB \) are equal (both are tangents), we can denote \( PA = PB = L = 4 \). The distance \( AB \) can be calculated as: \[ AB = 2L = 2 \times 4 = 8 \] The area \( K \) of triangle \( PAB \) can be calculated using: \[ K = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \] Here, the base \( AB = 8 \) and the height is the distance from point \( P \) to line \( AB \). The height can be calculated using the radius \( r \) of the circle: \[ K = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 2\sqrt{6} = 8\sqrt{6} \] 5. **Final Calculation of \( R \)**: Now substituting into the circumradius formula: \[ R = \frac{4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4}{4 \cdot 8\sqrt{6}} = \frac{64}{32\sqrt{6}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3} \] 6. **Final Result**: The problem asks for \( [R] \), which is the integer part of \( R \): \[ [R] = 0 \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the radius \( R \) of the circumcircle of triangle \( PAB \), where \( P(1, 8) \) is a point from which tangents are drawn to the circle defined by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y - 11 = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Rewrite the Circle Equation**: We start with the circle equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y - 11 = 0 ...
