Question

find the length of tangent from a point which is 9.1 cm away from the center of the circle whose radius is 8.4cms​

Answer 1

Answer:

4.2......

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Let the length of tangent be x cm.

Given:-

radius of circle = 8.4 cm.

the distance from centre = 9.1cm.

now, using Pythagoras theorem,

x = √(9.1)²- (8.4)²

x = √82.81 - 70.56

x = √ 12.25

x = 3.5

Hence, length of tangent = 3.5 cm.
