Question

find the length of a tangent and draw from are outside point of a distance of 13cm from the center of 5cm radius circle ​

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

length of tangent=x

point of a distance =13

radius of circle=5cm

by pythagoras theorem

5square+xsquare =13square

25+xsquare =169

xsquare =169-25=144

xsquare=144

x=12

the length of tangent=12
