In a right-angled triangle ABC, $\angle B=90^{o}, BC = 12 cm $ and $AB = 5 cm$.The radius of the circle inscribed in the triangle (in cm) is
ABC is a right angled triangle right angled at B such that $BC = 6$ cm and $AB = 8$ cm. A circle with center O is inscribed in $\displaystyle \Delta ABC$. The radius of the circle is
The angle between the two tangents from the origin to the circle $\displaystyle \left ( x-7 \right )^{2}+\left ( y+1 \right )^{2}=25 $ equals
The angle between the tangents from the origin to the circle $(x-7)^{2}+(y+1)^{2}=25$ is
Two secants PAB and PCD are drawn to a circle from an outside point P. Then, which of the following is true?
Two tangents are drawn to a circle and the angle between them is $\displaystyle { 30 }^{ \circ }$. What is the angle between the radii that are drawn at the point of contact of these two tangents.
$ABC$ is a right triangle with $\angle A = 90^{\circ}$. Let a circle touch tangent $\overline {AB}$ at A and tangent $\overline {BC}$ at some point D. Suppose the circle intersects $\overline {AC}$ again at E and $CE = 3 cm, CD = 6 cm$, find the measure of BD
The area of the triangle formed by the tangents from the point $( 4, 3 )$ to the circle $x^{2} + y^{2} = 9$ and the line joining their points of contact is
For the circle ${ x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 }={ r }^{ 2 }$, find the value of $r$ for which the area enclosed by the tangents drawn from the point $P(6,8)$ to the circle and the chord of contact is maximum.
Write True or False and justify your answer in each of the following :
A parabola $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ crosses the x-axis at $(\alpha, 0)$ $(\beta, 0)$ both to the right of the origin. A circle also passes through these two points. The length of the tangent from the origin to the circle is
AB and CD are two chords of a circle which when produced to meet at a point P such that AB = 5 cm, AP = 8 cm and CD = 2 cm then PD =
