Answer 1

Answer:

A triangle ABC is drawn to circumscribing a circle of radius 3cm such that segments BD and DC into BC is divided by the point of contact D are of length 9cm. And 3 cm. ... For ΔABC, AF = AE = x (∵ tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are congruent i.e. AE and AF are tangent drawn from external point
