Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distamce from the centr is 13cm and radius is 5cm .

So taking 13cm as hypotenuse and radius as base of the right angl trangle we need to find the tangent which is as perpendicular of the right trangle the.

Asq+bsq=csq

(13cm)sq=Asq+(5cm)

169cmsq=Asq+25cmsq

169-25=Asq

144=Asq

√114=Asq

12cm=Asq

So the lenth of the tangent is 12cm
