Diagram of a circular plate with center C. A tangent rod PR touches the plate at point P. A line CQR passes through the center C and the edge of the plate at Q. The radius CP is labeled 1.5 m, and the tangent segment PR is labeled 2 m.

A decorative circular plate has centre $C$ . Points $P\,$ and $Q\,$ lie on the circumference of the plate. $PR\,$ is a tangent to the circle at point $P$ . $CQR\,$ is a straight line.
