Question

In the given figure, AB, AC and AD are tangents. If AB = 5 cm, find AD.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB= AC=5cm

also AC= AD=5cm

tangent segments are equidistant from an external point.

Answer 2

Answer:AD = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB,AC,AD are tangents

To circle with center O AB and AC are tangents from point A

We know that tangents to a circle from an external point are equal

I.e AB=AC=5......(1)

And to circle with center D

AC and AD are tangents from point A

ThereforeAC=AD=5(from (1))

Therefore AD=5
