JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Circle and System of Circles Length of Tangent

Length of Tangent

Category : JEE Main & Advanced

Let \[PQ\] and \[PR\] be two tangents drawn from \[P({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\] to the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0.\]    

 

 

Then \[PQ=PR\] is called the length of tangent drawn from point  \[P\] and is given by \[PQ=PR\] \[=\sqrt{x_{1}^{2}+y_{1}^{2}+2g{{x}_{1}}+2f{{y}_{1}}+c}=\sqrt{{{S}_{1}}}\].
