Chapter 10: Q11. (page 383)

To find the position of the center of circle respect to line land point l.

Short Answer

Expert verified

This means that the line drawn from X to the center is perpenduclar to l at X. .

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

Line l; points Xand Y .

A circle through Yand tangent to lat X .

Given figure,

02

 Step 2. Concept   Used.

Observe the figure.

If a line is tangent to a circle, then the line is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the points of tangency.

This means that the line drawn from X to the center is perpendicular to l at X.
