Point X outside a circle is 34 cm from the center of the circle. The length of the tangent drawn from point X to the point of
tangency A is 30 cm. The radius of the circle is

Right option is c 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The radius of the circle, the point drawn from the center of the circle to piont X and the length of the tangent drawn from point X to the point of tangency all form a right angle triangle.

Using pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c² Equation 1

Where b = the length of the tagent, a = length of the point drawn outside the circle from the center, b = radius of the circle.

Given: a =  34 cm, b = 30 cm.

Substitute into equation 1

34² = 30²+c²

c² = 34²-30²

c² = 1156-900

c² = √256

c² = 16 cm.

Hence the right option is c 16 cm

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.
