Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is in the above pic

Answer 2

Answer: r=6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Given that the tangents are parallel to each other therefore we can say clearly that the diameter of the circle is given,because two tangents can only be parallel to the circle if they touch the point at which the diameter of the circle meets the circumference.
• So,d=12cm
• ∴Radius (r)=$\frac{d}{2}$

                           =$\frac{12}{2}cm$

                           =6 cm

• Hence,the radius of the circle is 6 cm.
