Let ABAB be a diameter of a circle with centre OO and length 1010 cm. Tangents are drawn to the circle at AA and BB. (i) Prove that the two tangents are parallel. (ii) Find the distance between these two tangents. (iii) A point CC is taken on the tangent at AA such that AC=6AC = 6 cm. Find the length of the perpendicular drawn from OO to the line ACAC and justify your result.
