Study Notes

Circle Tangents and Lengths

  • The length of a tangent from a point to a circle is 24 cm. The distance from the center of the circle to the point is 25 cm. The radius of the circle is 7 cm.
  • If tangents from a point to a circle make an angle of 80° then the angle formed between the segment from the center to the point and one of the tangents is 50°.
  • The area of a sector of a circle with angle θ and radius r is (θ/180) × Ï€r².

Solid Pipe Volume

  • A solid pipe has a diameter of 4 cm and a length of 20 cm. The volume of the metal used in the pipe is 80Ï€ cm³.
