Two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are:

Answer: Equal in length.

  • A Unequal
  • B Equal in length
  • C Perpendicular to each other
  • D Parallel

Correct answer: B. Equal in length

Explanation: Tangents from an external point are equal in length. This follows from congruent right triangles.

Cylinder, Cone, SphereV=πr²hCSA=2πrhV=⅓πr²hCSA=πrlV=4/3πr³SA=4πr²

Three standard 3D solids and their key formulas: a cylinder's volume scales with the full height, a cone's volume is exactly one-third of the cylinder with the same base and height, and a sphere's volume and surface area both follow distinct r-based formulas worth memorising separately.
