Find the distance between two parallel tangents of a circle of radius $3 cm$ .

A
$6 cm$
B
$3 cm$
C
$9 cm$
D
$10 cm$

Solution:

Given,
Radius of circle=

3 cm .

Here the radius of the circle is 3 cm.
So the diameter is 6 cm.
We know that a tangent touches the circle at one point.
So the distance between two parallel tangents is the diameter of the circle which is 6 cm.
Hence, distance between two parallel tangents of a circle of radius
