Q) The discus throw is an event in which an athlete attempts to throw a discus. The athlete spins anti-clockwise around one and a half times through a circle, then releases the throw. When released, the discus travels along tangent to the circular spin orbit. In the given figure, AB is one such tangent to […]

Q) In the given figure, a circle is inscribed in a quadrilateral ABCD in which ∠B = 900. If AD = 17 cm, AB = 20 cm and DS = 3 cm, then find the radius of the circle. Ans: In the above diagram, DR = DS = 3 cm Therefore, AR = AD –
Q) Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre 0 from an external point T. Prove that ∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ. Ans: TP = TQ ⇒ ∠TPQ = ∠TQP Let ∠PTQ be θ ⇒ ∠TPQ = ∠TQP = = 90° – Now, ∠OPT = 90° ⇒ ∠OPQ = 90° – [90° –
