What is the distance between two parallel tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm?
nircle with centre o such that < APB = 50°​

Answer 1

Answer:

Line PT and line QR are two parallel tangents to the circle at P and Q, respectively.

⇒ POQ is a straight line segment.

∴ PQ is the diameter of the circle.

Thus, the distance between two parallel tangents of the circle is 5*2 = 10 cm.
