Class 10 Maths NCERT Solution-Chapter 10 Circles

This article for 10th Class Maths we will discuss theorem’s related to the Tangent.

Theorem No 2

The lengths of two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

Proof

Given Circle with center O

Point P outside the circle

Two tangents from point P, PQ and PR

To Prove PO=PR

Let’s join OP, OQ and OR

<OQP and <ORP formed are actually right angles, as per the theorem 1, angles between the radii and tangents are right angles.

= OQ=OR (radii of same circle)

= OP=OP (Common)

= Triangle OQP=Triangle ORP (RHS)

= PQ=PR (Hence proved)

Let’s take an alternative method also to solve using the Pythagoras theorem to prove the same.

Alternative method (Using Pythagoras theorem)

PQ²=OP²-OQ²

=OP²-OR²=PR² (As OQ=OR)

=PQ=PR (Hence proved)

We can add –S, -es, -ves or ies to show that there is more than one noun. For example, we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use s , es, ves or ies in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss form plurals by taking –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
