Theorem on Touching Circles

A circle with...

Question

A circle with centre O has a radius of 3.5 cm. Where does a point P lie with respect to the circle if its distance from the centre O is 5 cm?

Open in App

Solution

The distance between the centre O and the point P is 5 cm, which is greater than the radius of the circle, which is 3.5 cm. This means that the point P is located beyond the boundary of the circle and hence lies in the exterior of the circle.
