43. A circle is inscribed in a quadrilateral ABCD in which . If AD=23 cm, AB=29 cm and DS=5 cm, then the radius of the circle is:
(A) 10
(B) 11
(C) 12
(D) 09
Answer:
(B) 11
Explanation:
Tangents from an external point are equal. . . . . Because and tangents form right angles with the radius, the corner acts as a square, so cm.
44. If P(, 4) is the mid point of the line segment joining the points Q(-6,5) and R(-2,3) then the value of “a” is:
