Step-by-step explanation:

point Q length of atrangular to a circle is =24cm

and

the distance of Q from the center is

= 25cm

atq_

24×25

=49

the radious of a circle is 49cm

centre is 25 cm. The radius of the circle is______

===========

\huge\green{Given}

O is the centre of the circle

PQ is the tangent

PQ =2 4cm & OQ = 25 cm

by theorem : The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

OP perpendicular to PQ

by applying pythagoras theorem

(OQ^ {2}) = (OP^ {2}+(PQ^ {2})

(25^{2})=(OP^ {2})+(24 ^{{2}})

625=(OP^{2} +576)

=625-576=(PO^{2})

=49

So PQ= \sqrt{49}

=7cm is the radius

======

Thus we got your answer
