Detailed Solution

It is given that AT is a tangent to the circle with centre 'O' such that OT=4 cm and OTA=30° and we need to find the length of AT. 

On joining OA, it can be observed that OTA is formed. Now, from OTA,

cos 30°=ATOT

On substituting the given values, we get the length of AT as

32=AT4

AT=23cm

Hence, the length of AT is 23 cm.
