Question

Equation of a tangent to the circle with centre (2, –1) is 3x + y = 0. The squar  of the length of the tangent to the circle from the point (23, 17) is

Solution

Correct option is

1525

 

Length of the perpendicular from the centre (2, –1) on the tangent  which is the radius of the circle. Equation of the circle is 

         (x – 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 5/2   

or      2[(x – 2)2 + (y + 1)2] – 5 = 0   

The required length = 2[(23 – 2)2 + (17 + 1)2] – 5 

                                = 2[441 + 324] – 5 = 1525
