Question

Assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent Find the perimeter of CDEF

Answer 1

The perimeter of the CDEF is 46.5 unit.

According to the tangent theorem,

Two tangents have equal tangent segments if they are directed to a circle from a single exterior point. A tangent segment is a line that joins the point of tangency to the external point.

The following are the two key theorems concerning tangents to a circle:

• The first theorem states that the tangent and the circle's radius form a right angle at the point of tangency.
• The second theorem states that the two tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle have equal lengths

Given: CDEF

We have to find the Perimeter of the CDEF solution:

So, we can write it as:

Perimeter of CDEF

=CD+DE+EF+FC

=7.4+14+12.1+13

= 46.5 unit
