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.

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

$11\text{ cm}$ $60\text{ cm}$
