Answer:The length of the tangent = 8cm

Explanation:

Since the tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact, a right triangle is formed with the line segment joining the external point and the centre being the hypotenuse.

Thus, using Pythagoras theorem we get that the length of the tangent is 8 cm{6,8&10 are Pythagorean triplets}.
