Question

the length of tangent of a circle from a point 17cm from its centre is 8cm find the radius of the circle​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

apply Pythagoras formula by drawing circle and tangents.

so, Radius = √17^2 - 8^2

√289 - 64

√225

15 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

15cm is the radius

Step-by-step explanation:

if the tangents are 8cm each from a point 17cm from the center of circle then radius will be 15cm.

We can do this by applying Pythagoras theorem as tangents are perpendicular to the radii..
