Question

If the distance between two parallel tangents drawn to a circle is 16cm then the radius of this circle is ?

Answer 1

Hi Atal ,

Tangents touch the circle only at one point.
If the tangents are parallel to each other then, the line joining their point of contact is the diameter itself.

so here diameter = 16 cm
so radius = 16/2 = 8 cm

so the radius of the circle is 8 cm.

Answer 2

8 cm is the radius
