1) Each question carries 1 mark
1. What is the distance between two parallel tangents to a circle of radius 5cm?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

because the tangent form right angle with radius.

diameter=2r

=2*5

=10

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that a tangeant of a circle go through touching any part of the circle.

So,we draw a tangeant to a circle and similarly on the opp. side of that tangeant we draw another tangeant i.e. parallel to it.

Now, the distance between these tangeants is the diameter of the circle i.e. two times of the radius.

And the radius =5cm.

Diameter=2×5 cm

=10cm
