Question : The distance between the centres of two circles with radii of 9 cm and 16 cm is 25 cm. The length of the segment of the tangent between them is:

Option 1: $24\ \text{cm}$

Option 2: $25\ \text{cm}$

Option 3: $\frac{50}{3}\ \text{cm}$

Option 4: $12\ \text{cm}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $24\ \text{cm}$


Solution :
Given: $r_1=16$ cm, $r_2=9$ cm
Distance between two centres = 25 cm
We know, the required length of the tangent = $\sqrt{\text{Distance between two centres}^2-(r_1-r_2)^2}$
= $\sqrt{25^2-(16-9)^2}$
= $\sqrt{625-49}$
= $\sqrt{576}$
= $24$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is $24\ \text{cm}$.
