Answer:
In the adjoining figure, AB is a tangent to the circle with centre O. If AB=4 cm and OA is
5 cm, find the diameter of the circle
Given PT=30cm
OT is the radius of a cicle
therefore OT will be half of given diameter
OT = 16cm
∠OTP = 90 ∘ (tangent is perpendicular to radius at point of contact)
now apply pythoguras theorem to
OP²=OT² +TP²
OP²=16²+30²
OP= √1156
OP=34
