Question

what is the distance between two parallel line tangent of a circle having radius 4.5 CM justify your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Final Answer :9 cm  

1) We know : 

Distance between any two parallel tangents in a circle is equal to measure of a Diameter . 

For example, Look at Pic;

Distance between any parallel tangents = 2*r=2*4.5=9 cm 

This can be seen as since tangents are parallel and both touches the circle at one point .

Hence, we can say a length of Diameter will fulfill the perpendicular gap between them .

So, Distance between two parallel tangents will be twice of length of radius or Diameter only.

Answer 2

Answer:

Final Answer :9 cm  

1) We know : 

Distance between any two parallel tangents in a circle is equal to measure of a Diameter . 

For example, Look at Pic;

Distance between any parallel tangents = 2*r=2*4.5=9 cm 

This can be seen as since tangents are parallel and both touches the circle at one point .

Hence, we can say a length of Diameter will fulfill the perpendicular gap between them .

So, Distance between two parallel tangents will be twice of length of radius or Diameter only.
