5. Assertion: If length of a tangent from an external point to a circle is 8 cm, then
length of the other tangent from the same point is 8 cm.
Reason: Length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
6. Assertion : If a chord AB subtends an angle of 60 0 at the centre of a circle, then the angle
between the tangents at A and B is also 600.
Reason : The length of the tangent from an external points P on a circle with centre O is
always less than OP.

Short answer questions:


7. Prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.

8. From an external point P, tangents PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. If ∠PAB = 50°,

then find ∠AOB.

9. Prove that the length of tangent from an external point P to a circle with centre O is always less than

OP.

10.If PQ= 28 cm, find the perimeter of ∆PLM.
