Let us consider a circle of radius 10 cm whose centre is at P.
Two parallel tangents AB and CD are drawn to the circle at M and N respectively.
The radius of the circle = PM = PN = 10 cm.
Then, the diameter of the circle = MN = 20 cm.
At M and N, the tangents being parallel to each other are at distance
= PM + PN
= MN
= 20 units.

The distance between two parallel tangents to a given circle is represented by the diameter of the circle.
