two tangents making an angle of 120 degree with each other, are drwan to a circle of radius 6 cm then the length of each tangent is: ??

							
Dear student,
take this hint:
sum of central angle + angle made by 2 tangents = 180°
 as other 2 angles are 90° tangent to the circle.
 so central angle is 120°
 draw line passing through center O
 draw angle 60° on each side. draw tengents where the line of angle intersects the circle on both sides.
