Question

A tangent of length 8cm is drawn to a
circle of radius 6cm the distance
between the centre of the circle and
the external point from which the
tangent is drawn is​

Answer 1

Answer:

H^2 = P^2 + B^2

H^2 = 64 + 36

H = 10cm

Therefore, the req length is 10cm

Answer 2

Answer:

the length of tangent=8cm

radius of circle=6cm

find : the distance between centre to circle =?

using Pythagoras theorem

(H)^2 = (P)^2+ (B)^2

(H)^2= 8^2+6^2

(H)^2= 64+36

H^2= 100

H= √100

H=10
