Question 53

What is the distance between two parallel tangents of a circle of radius 8 cm?

Given, radius of the circle = 8 cm

As shown in the figure,

AB and CD are two parallel tangents of the circle with centre O

OP and OQ are radius of the circle

$$=$$>  OP = OQ = 8 cm

$$\therefore\ $$Distance between two parallel tangents = OP + OQ = 8 + 8 = 16 cm

Hence, the correct answer is Option A
