Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.
Read before answering
Circle centre O has radius 12 cm. P is external with OP=20 cm. PT and PU are tangents touching at T and U. OT and OU are radii. The tangent-radius theorem gives a right angle at each contact point; OP joins the centre to the external point, not to the circle.
