Consider a circle with center O and radius OA = 8cm = r, AB = 15 cm.
(AB) tangent is drawn at A (point of contact)
At point of contact, we know that radius and tangent are perpendicular.
In ΔOAB, ∠OAB = 90°, By Pythagoras theorem
ЁЭСВЁЭР╡2 = ЁЭСВЁЭР┤2 + ЁЭР┤ЁЭР╡2
`OB = sqrt(8^2 + 15^2)`
`=sqrt(64+225)`
`= sqrt(289)`
= 17 cm
∴ ЁЭСВЁЭР╡ = 17 ЁЭСРЁЭСЪ
