Question:
[Section A]
If two tangents inclined at an angle of $60^\circ$ are drawn to a circle of radius $3$ cm, then the length of each tangent is:
(a) $3\sqrt3$ cm
(b) $3$ cm
(c) $6$ cm
(d) $\sqrt3$ cm
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Tangent length $= r \cot(\theta/2) = 3 \cot 30^\circ = 3\sqrt3$ cm.
Length $= r \cot 30^\circ = 3\sqrt3$ cm. [1.0 Mark]
Correct Answer: (a) 3√3 cm
