PT = 3.9 cm & TA = 3.9√3 cm = 6.75 cm if TA is tangent at point T angle TPA=60° and PA= 7.8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
TA is tangent at point T
let assume P is center of circle
PA = 7.8 cm
∠ TPA=60°
Cos∠ TPA = PT/PA
=> Cos60° = PT/7.8
=> 1/2 = PT/7.8
=> PT = 3.9 cm
PA² - PT² = TA²
=> 7.8² - 3.9² = TA²
=> TA² = 3.9²(4 - 1)
=> TA² = 3.9²* 3
=> TA = 3.9√3 cm = 6.75 cm
