Question

Find the length of the tangent drawn from a point whose distance from centre of a circle is 25 cm . Given that the radius of the circle in 7 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

26cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the point from centre =25cm

Radius =7cm

Since tangent and radius are perpendicular to each other, we will apply pythagoras theorem

25^2 =7^2 - x^2

Where x is length of tangent

625=x^2 +49

625-49=x^2

576=x^2

X=24 CM

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the point from centre =25cm

Radius =7cm

we will apply pythagoras theorem,

25^2 =7^2 - x^2

Where x is length of tangent

625=x^2 +49

625-49=x^2

576=x^2

X=24 CM
