Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We can create a diagram with the given details.
Pleae refer to video for the diagram.
we know, length of tangents from any common point outside a circle are always equal.
`:. AP = AR = 4` cm
`BP = BQ = 6`
`CR = CQ`
We are given,`AC = 12` cm
`=>AR+CR = 12=> CR = 12-AR =>CR = 12-4 = 8` cm
