Data : 'O' is the centre of the circle. XY is the tangent at
' P '. OP is the radius. ½
To prove : OP ⊥ XY . ½
Construction : Take a point 'Q' on XY other than 'P ' and
join OQ. Let it intersect the circle at ' R '. ½
Proof : From the figure, OQ > OR.
But OR = OP ( radii of the same circle ) ½
OQ > OP.
This happens for every point on the line XY except the
point P.
∴ OP is the shortest distance from O to the points on XY.

A solid is made of a cylinder with a hemispherical
depression having the same radius ( ‘r’ cm ) as that of
cylinder, at the top end as shown in the figure. The
volume of the hemispherical depression is 18000 π cm 3 .
If the height of the cylinder is 145 cm, then find the total
