Question: If two tangents are drawn from a point outside a circle, and the lengths of the tangents are 7 cm each, what is the distance from the point to the center of the circle?

Options:

  1. 7√2
  2. 7
  3. 14
  4. √49

Correct Answer: 7√2

Solution: 

The distance from the point to the center is given by the formula: distance = √(tangent length² + radius²). Here, radius = 7, so distance = √(7² + 7²) = √(49 + 49) = √98 = 7√2.
