Question

State True or False:
In the given figure, if OP = 1 unit and ∠POQ=θ, then AP represents $tan\theta$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In,$\Delta APO,\angle APO={90}^{\circ }$ $(\because APistangenttothecircle)$
In,$\Delta APO,tan\theta =\frac{AP}{PO}=\frac{AP}{1}=AP$

Therefore, AP represents $tan\theta$.
