Question 22 Find the radius of the circle with centre at origin, if line š‘™ given by š‘„ + š‘¦ = 5 is tangent to the circle at point P.Since P(3, a) lies on line š‘™ It will satisfy its equation Putting x = 3, y = a in equation of line x + y = 5 3 + a = 5 a = 5 – 3 a = 2 So, point P is P (3, 2) Now, we need to find Radius of circle Radius of circle = CP Finding CP using Distance formula CP = √((3āˆ’0)^2+(2āˆ’0)^2 ) = √(3^2+2^2 ) = √(9+4) = āˆššŸšŸ‘ Thus, radius of circle is āˆššŸšŸ‘ units
