Question

in the given figure find the length of the tangent CD if AP = 3 cm and BC = 8 centimetre​

Answer 1

Answer:

CD=5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

AP=3cm

PC=8cm

AP=BP (tangents drawn from an external point)

BP=3cm       (putting in the values)

now,

PC= BP + BC

8=3+BC         (putting in  the values)

BC=5cm

BC=CD (tangents drawn from an external point)

CD=5cm.      (putting in  the values)
