Top Questions on Tangent to a Circle
From an external point $P$, two tangents $PA$ and $PB$ are drawn to a circle with centre $O$. At a point $E$ on the circle, a tangent is drawn which intersects $PA$ and $PB$ at $C$ and $D$ respectively. If $PA = 10$ cm, find the perimeter of $\triangle PCD$.

In two concentric circles, the radii
\(OA = r\)
cm and
\(OQ = 6\)
cm, as shown in the figure. Chord $CD$ of the larger circle is a tangent to the smaller circle at $Q$. $PA$ is tangent to the larger circle. If $PA$ = $16$ cm and $OP = 20$ cm, find the length of $CD$.
