The radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact, so the tangent length is √(172 − 82) = √225 = 15 cm.

Assertion: a parallelogram inscribed in a circle must be a rectangle. Reason: the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary. State whether both are true and whether the reason explains the assertion.
Circles
In a circle of radius 13 cm, a chord is at a distance of 5 cm from the centre. Find the length of the chord.
Circles
From an external point P two tangents PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. If angle APB = 60°, find angle AOB.
Circles
Two chords AB and CD of a circle intersect inside the circle at P. If PA = 4 cm, PB = 6 cm and PC = 3 cm, find PD.
Circles
PT is a tangent from an external point P to a circle, and PAB is a secant through P meeting the circle at A and B. If PT = 6 cm and PA = 4 cm, find PB.
Circles
Draw a circle with centre O and a chord AB. Mark a point C on the major arc and a point D on the minor arc. Show on your diagram why angle ACB and angle ADB are supplementary.
