Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle OTP is right angle (radius perpendicular to point of contact)

So triangle OTP is a right angle triangle with OP as its hypotenuse.

In triangle OTP, TP^2 + TO^2 = OP^2 (Pythagoras theorem)

Now substitute given values and open the brackets using (a+b)^2 identity.

You'll get a quadratic equation, solve it using appropriate methods and will get the desired answer.

Hope it helps.
