Question

If P is the centre of the circle with radius 6.7cm. d(PQ) = 7.6, d(P,R) = 5.7, find the positions of the points R and Q.

Solution

As d(P,Q) is greater than the radius, point Q is in the exterior of the circle.
And as d(P,R) is less than the radius, point R is in the interior the circle.
