Question 28

Diagram of a circle with center O. A tangent line XZ touches the circle at point X. A line OYZ passes through the center O and the circumference at point Y. The radius OX is labeled 11 cm, and the tangent segment XZ is labeled 60 cm.

X X\,X and Y Y\,Y are points on the circumference of a circle, centre OOO. XZ XZ\,XZ is a tangent to the circle at XXX. OYZ OYZ\,OYZ is a straight line.

OX=11 cmOX = 11\text{ cm}OX=11 cm XZ=60 cmXZ = 60\text{ cm}XZ=60 cm
