Detailed Solution & Logic
26.67 cm 4
OA=OB=20 cm, AB=32 cm$
$AM=\dfrac{32}{2}=16\text{ cm}$
$OM=\sqrt{20^2-16^2}=\sqrt{400-256}=12\text{ cm}$
$\triangle OMT\sim\triangle OAT$
$\dfrac{12}{20}=\dfrac{20}{OT}$
$OT=\dfrac{100}{3}$
$TA=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{100}{3}\right)^2-20^2}=\dfrac{80}{3}=26.67\text{ cm}$
Answer = 26.67 cm
