give a brief explaination

Question:

   In the given figure, two identical circles of radius 4cm touch each other. A and B are the centres of the two circles. If RQ is a tangent to the circle, then what is the length (in cm) of RQ? 

  

Options:
A)

     3√3

B)

     2√6

C)

     4√2

D)

     6√2

Solution:

  

AQ = Radius of circle = 4cm

Let RQ = RS =x

PS2=PC×PQPS2=8×16PS=82cmIn ΔRQPx  2+16  2=x+82     2x2+256=x2+128+162xx=42cm
