good night ​

Answer 1

Answer:

⇒ O is the center of the circle.

⇒ l and m are two parallel tangents of the circle.

⇒ Radius of the circle =4.5cm

⇒ AB is distance between two parallel tangents.

⇒ AB=OA+OB=4.5cm+4.5cm

∴ AB=9cm

Answer 2

Answer:

⇒ O is the center of the circle.

⇒ l and m are two parallel tangents of the circle.

⇒ Radius of the circle =4.5cm

⇒ AB is distance between two parallel tangents.

⇒ AB=OA+OB=4.5cm+4.5cm

∴ AB=9cm

∴ Distance between the parallel tangents l and m is 9cm.
