In the given figure, AB, AC and EF are tangents to a circle. If AC = 15 and DE = 3 cm. Then the length of AE is:
In the given figure, AB, AC and EF are tangents to a circle. If AC = 15 and DE = 3 cm. Then the length of AE is:
A.
24 cm
B.
9 cm
C.
18 cm
D.
12 cm
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
DE = EB = 3 cm (tangent at same point)AE + EB = AB = AC (tangent at same point)
AE + 3 = 15
AE = 12 cm
