Answer 2

Answer: 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a circle and mark any point on its circumference as P

Draw tangent PQ = 24 cm

Join OQ, hence Triangle OQP is right-angled triangle

Thus, from pythagoras theorem:-

OP^2  +   QP^2  =  OQ ^2

24^2   +   7^2     =  OQ ^2

576     +   49 =       OQ ^2

625 = OQ ^2

OQ = 25 cm
