A parallel tangents can be constructed from a point P to a circle of radius 3.5 cm situated at a distance of 3 cm from the center.


False

Let, r = radius of circle and


d = distance of a point from the center.


r = 3.5


And d = 3


r >d


Point P lies in inside the circle, as shown below:



i.e., no tangent is possible.
