Question 12

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 CCC. Points P P\,P and Q Q\,Q lie on the circumference of the plate. PR PR\,PR is a tangent to the circle at point PPP. CQR CQR\,CQR is a straight line.

CP=1.5 mCP = 1.5\text{ m}CP=1.5 m PR=2 mPR = 2\text{ m}PR=2 m
