it is know that the lengths of tangents drwan from a point outside a circle

are equal in length.

Therefore, we have;

AP = AR     ........(1)  (Tangents drawn from point A)

BP = BQ    .........(2)  (Tangents drawn from point B)

CQ = CR   ..........(3)   (Tangents drawn from point C)

Using the above equations,

AR = 4 cm          ( AP = 4 cm,  given)

BQ = 3 cm         ( BP = 3 cm,  given)

AC = 11 cm  RC = 11 cm - 4 cm = 7 cm

 ⇒ CQ = 7 cm

Hence, BC = BQ + CQ = 3 CM + 7 CM = 10 cm.
