A) 40 cm

B) 46 cm

C) 35 cm

D) 23 cm

Answer 1

D) 23 cm

Explanation:

it passes the quiz

Answer 2

D) 23 cm

Explanation:

As per Provided Information

AB & AC are tangent to the circle O.

we have been asked to determine the length of AC ( tangent) .

This question is quite easy if you know the following Theorem which states that

Tangent drawn from an external point to the circle are equal in length

Therefore

• AB = AC = 23 cm

Therefore,

• 23 cm is your required answer .

Option (D) 23 cm
