PA and PB are the tangents drawn to a circle with centre O. If PA= 6 cm and APB = 600 , then find the length of the chord AB. We know that Tangent from external point are equal ∴ PA = PB Since angles opposite equal sides are equal Thus, ∠ PAB = ∠ PBA By Angle Sum property in Δ APB ∠ APB + ∠ PAB + ∠ PBA = 180° 60° + ∠ PAB + ∠ PAB = 180° 60° + 2∠ PAB = 180° 2∠ PAB = 180° − 60° 2∠ PAB = 120° ∠ PAB = (120° )/2 ∠ PAB = 60° Thus, in Δ APB ∠ PAB = ∠ PBA = 60° And, ∠ APB = 60° Since all angles are 60°, ∴ Δ APB is an equilateral triangle 60° + ∠ PAB + ∠ PAB = 180° 60° + 2∠ PAB = 180° 2∠ PAB = 180° − 60° 2∠ PAB = 120° ∠ PAB = (120° )/2 ∠ PAB = 60° Thus, in Δ APB ∠ PAB = ∠ PBA = 60° And, ∠ APB = 60° Since all angles are 60°, ∴ Δ APB is an equilateral triangle Since in equilateral triangle All sides are equal ∴ AB = AP = 6 cm

In the given figure, PA and PB are tangents to the given circle such that PA = 5 and angle APB = 60o The length of chord AB is a 5√2 cm b 5 cm a 5√3 cm a 7.5 cm
Solution
Given: PA and PB are tangents of a circle, PA = 5 cm and ∠APB = 60°
Let O be the center of the given circle and C be the point of intersection of OP and AB
In ΔPAC and ΔPBC
PA = PB (
∠APC = ∠BPC (
PC = PC (
Thus ΔPAC
∴ AC = BC
Also ∠APB = ∠APC + ∠BPC
AB = AC + BC = AC + AC (
⇒ AB =

3. A and B alone can do a work in 24 days and 32 days, respectively. A starts the work and worked alone for first 3 days and then B joined A. B and A … together do the work for next 3 days and then another person C joined both. If the total work was completed in 13 days, then in how nay days A and C together can complete the work together?
