Answer to Problem 14RP

  8

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

As shown in the figure OA = 8 , PB = 2 and construct PQ s.t. PQ = AB.

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 10, Problem 14RP

Formula Used:

Angle between tangent and radius = 90°

Calculation :

OD = 8 (Radius)

PD = 2

  ∴ OP = 8+2=10

In ΔOPQ,

By Pythagoras Theorem,

        OP2=OQ2+PQ2⇒   PQ=102−62=8∴    AB=PQ=8
