A circle has radius 3.5 cm. A point P is 6.0 cm from the centre O. A tangent from P meets the circle at T. (i) Calculate the length PT, correct to one decimal place. (ii) If the point P is moved directly away from O so that OP becomes 12.0 cm, find the new length of the tangent from P to the circle.
