उत्तर
Given: Circle with radius r = 5 cm.
Step-wise calculation:
1. Let two parallel tangents touch the circle at points P and Q on opposite sides. The radii OP and OQ are perpendicular to the tangents, so the shortest distance between the two tangent lines equals OP + OQ = r + r.
2. Substitute r = 5 cm:
Distance = 2r
= 2 × 5
= 10 cm
The distance between the two parallel tangents is 10 cm.
