Answer 2

Question:

In the adjoining figure, the length of PT is:

(A) 3 cm (B) 4 cm  (C) 5 cm (D) 6 cm

The image of the figure is attached below:

Answer:

Option B : 4 cm is the length of PT

Explanation:

The length of OT = 3 cm

The length of PO = 2 + 3 = 5 cm

The length of PT can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, since, $\angle T$ is a right angle.

By Pythagorean theorem, we have,

$PO^2=OT^2+PT^2$

Substituting the values, we get,

$5^2=3^2+PT^2$

$25=9+PT^2$

$16=PT^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get,

$4=PT$

Thus, the length of PT is 4 cm

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
