Consider a circle with center O.
OP = radius = 5 cm.
A tangent is drawn at point P, such that line through O intersects it at Q, OB = 13cm.
Length of tangent PQ = ?
A + P, we know that tangent and radius are perpendicular.
ΔЁЭСВЁЭСГЁЭСД is right angled triangle, ∠OPQ = 90°

⇒ 132 = 52 + ЁЭСГЁЭСД2
⇒ ЁЭСГЁЭСД2 = 169 − 25 = 144
