ANSWER
Given : PT is a tangents at T to a circle whose centre is O and radius 20cm
OP intersect circle at M
MP = 9 cm
To Find : PT
Solution:
OT = OM = Radius = 20 cm
OP = OM + MP
=> OP = 20 + 9
=> OP = 29 cm
OP² = OT² + PT²
=> 29² = 20² + PT²
=> PT² = 29² - 20²
=> PT² = (29 + 20)(29 - 20)
=> PT² = 49 (9)
=> PT = 7(3)
=> PT = 21
PT = 21 cm
