Find the length of a tangent drawn to a circle with radius 5 cm, from a point 13 cm from the centre of the circle.

Match the items on the right to the items on the left.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Given: PQ is a tangent to the circle intersect at OP=13cm and OQ=5 cm

Therefore the length of the tangent from the point is 12 cm
