From a point outside a circle, two tangents are drawn to the circle. If one tangent measures 15 cm, what is the length of the other tangent?

1. 10 cm
2. 12 cm
3. 15 cm
4. 20 cm

Correct answer: 15 cm

Solution

Tangents drawn from the same external point to a circle are equal in length. Therefore, if one tangent is 15 cm, the other tangent is also 15 cm.
