Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
First, we draw a circle and a point from the given information
Now, distance between origin i.e., O(0, 0) and P(5, 0),
OP = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
OP = `sqrt((5 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt(5^2 + 0^2)`
= 5
= Radius of circle and distance between origin O(0, 0) and Q(6, 8),
OQ = `sqrt((6 - 0)^2 + (8 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt(6^2 + 8^2)`
= `sqrt(36 + 64)`
= `sqrt(100)`
= 10
We know that, if the distance of any point from the centre is less than/equal to/more than the radius, then the point is inside/on/outside the circle, respectively.
Here, we see that, OQ > OP
Hence, it is true that point Q(6, 8), lies outside the circle.
