Question

State true or false

The length of tangent from an external point P on a circle with centre O is always less than OP.

• A. True

The correct option is A True

true

since if the tangent intersects the circle at Q the PQO forms a right angled triangle with hypotenuse PO so the length PQ is always less than PO as hypotenuse is the largest in a triangle.
