In the figure , O is the center of the circle. From point R, seg RM and
seg RN are tangent segments touching the circle at M and N.
If OR = 10cm and radius of the circle = 5 cm, then
(i) What is the length of each tanget segment ?
(iii) What is the measure of `/_MRO ` ?
(iii) Whatis the measure of `/_ MRN ` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i) `therfore` Length of each tangent segment is `5sqrt3` cm (ii) `therefore angle MRO=30^@` (iii) `therefore angle MRN=60^@`
