Question

the length of the tangent drawn from an external point P to a circle with Centre O is 8 centimetre if the radius of the circle is 6 CM then the length of OP is​

Answer 1

HERE IS THE ANSWER MATE

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

 let PQ be the tangent drawn from the point P

As we know,

   radius is always perpendicular to the tangent of a circle

then,

PQ=8cm=base(b)

OQ=radius =6 cm= perpendicular(p)

op=hypoteneous (h)=?

using pythagoras theorem,

    h^2= p^2+b^2

 therefore, h=OP=10 cm
