In the figure, the radius of a circle with centre C is 6 cm, line AB is a tangent at A. Answer the following questions.
What is the distance of point C from line AB? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C is at a distance of 6 cm from line AB.
seg `Cabot " line AB " " ""………"[" From (i) "]`
CA=6cm `" " "……."(" Given ")`
`therefore` C is at a distance of 6 cm from line AB.
