Question
A circle of radius 5.2 cm has two tangents AB and CD parallel to each other. What is the distance between the two tangents?
Options
5.2 cm
10.4 cm
20.8 cm
can't find
Solution
10.4 cm
Explanation:
The distance between two parallel tangents will be the diameter of circle
So, Distance between tangents
= 2 × 5.2 cm
= 10.4 cm
