A triangle ABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 4 cm such that the segments BD and DC into which BC is divided by the point of contact D are of lengths 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the sides AB and AC.
ReportQuestion
Let o be the centre of a circle with a radius OD = 4 cm.
And ∆ABC circumscribe the circle.
And given that, BD = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm
Now, let &AC and AB intersect the circle at &E and Respectively.
To find the length of the sides AC and AB.
Since lengths of tangents drawn from the external points are equal.
Hence,&
The correct option is (B) 15 cm and 13 cm.
