$P$ is a point in the exterior of $\odot(O, r)$ and the tangents from $P$ to the circle touch the circle at $X$ and $Y$. Find $OP$,if $r = 12$ and $XP = 5$.

Radii of two concentric circles are $13$ and $8$. $\overline{AB}$ is a diameter of the circle with the larger radius. $\overline{BD}$ touches the circle with the smaller radius at $D$. Find $AD$.

State whether the following statement is 'True' or 'False' and provide reasons for your answer: The length of a tangent from an external point to a circle is always greater than the radius of the circle.

If two tangents inclined at an angle $60^{\circ}$ are drawn to a circle of radius $3 \, cm$,then the length of each tangent is equal to (in $cm$):

$\overline{AB}$ is a chord of a circle with centre $O$. Line $l$ touches the circle at $B$. The foot of the perpendicular from $A$ to $l$ is $D$. Prove that $\angle BAO \cong \angle BAD$.

$A$ circle touches all the sides of a quadrilateral $ABCD$. If $AB = 8$,$BC = 10$,and $CD = 7$,then find the length of $AD$.
