Sagot :

SOLUTION

Consider the sketch sown below

Using tangent ratio it follows

[tex]\tan30=\frac{12}{x}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{12}{\tan30} \\ x=\frac{12}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} \\ x=12\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the lengths of each tangent is 12 times square root of 3
