Question
From an external point P, two tangents PR and PS are
drawn to a circle with a radius of 10 cm. If the length of each tangent is 14 cm, determine the perimeter of quadrilateral ORPS, where O is the center of the circle.Solution
We know that the length of tangents drawn from an external point to the circle is equal. i.e. RP = PS = 14 cm
Required perimeter = OR + RP + PS + OS = 10 + 14 + 14 + 10 = 48 cm
