    Question

    A and B are centres of two circles of radii 32 cm and 8

    cm, respectively. CD is a direct common tangent to the circles. If the length of AB = 30 cm, then the length of CD will be:
    A 10 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Given: Radius of the first circle (r₁) = 32 cm Radius of the second circle (r₂) = 8 cm Distance between the centers of the two circles (AB) = 30 cm Formula used: Length of the direct common tangent (L) is given by: Calculations: Substitute the given values: ∴ The length of CD is 18 cm.
