Answer:
x = 13
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 12 (tangents drawn from same point are
equal in length)
Now
5^2 + y^2 = x^2 (pythagoras theorem)
25 + 12^2 = x^2
25 + 144 = x^2
x^2 = 169
x = 13 (13^2 = 169)
Step-by-step explanation:
O is the centre of the circle
PT and PS are the tangents to the circle from point P
OS and OT are the radii of the circle
Hence, ∠OSP=∠OTP=90
o
OS = OT = 5 cm and
PT = PS = 12 cm
Now,
In right angled triangle OTP,
By Pythagoras Theorem,
OP² =OT² +PT²
=(5)² +(12)²
=25+144
=169
We get,
OP² =(13)²
Therefore, OP = 13 cm
i.e, x = 13 cm
Since PS = PT = 12 cm
Therefore,
y = 12 cm
