Find the angle between the two tangents ...

Find the angle between the two tangents from the origin to the circle `(x-7)^2+(y+1)^2=25`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`90^(@)`
Centre of the circle is C(7,-1) and radius , `CM=5`.

`OC =sqrt(7^(2)+ (-1)^(2))=5sqrt(2)`
`:. sin theta =(CM)/(OC)=(5)/(5sqrt(2))=(1)/(sqrt(2))`
`implies theta =45^(@)`
Hence, angle between tangents is `90^(@)`.
