Question

Point P lies in the exterior of a circle with centre o and its distance from
centre is 26 cm. A tangent from P touches the circle at T and PT = 10 cm The
the radius of the circle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

radius = 24 cm

this is the answer

thankyou.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent forms a right angled triangle when it touches the circle, with the radius of the circle and the length of the tangent as sides and distance of the point from the radius is the hypotenuse.

Hence, r² + 10² =26²

⇒r=24 cm
