Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the figure is above

Now,

tangent is perpendicular to the radius at a point of contact

Here PA is the tangent line and OA is the radius of circle

Hence, OA is perpendicular to PA

Hence, angle OAP = 90 degree

Now , in triangle OAP, (OP)^2 = OA^2 + PA^2

10^2=8^2+PA^2

(PA)^2 = 100-64

=36

Hence , PA= √36

= 6 cm
