A circle is inscribed in a rectangle and there is another small rectangle in the corner of the bigger rectangle which touches the circle at a point A. If the measure of the smaller rectangle is 12 cm × 24 cm, then what is the radius of the circle?

A circle is inscribed in a rectangle and there is another small rectangle in the corner of the bigger rectangle which touches the circle at a point A. If the measure of the smaller rectangle is 12 cm × 24 cm, then what is the radius of the circle? Correct Answer 60 cm

Calculation:

The tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle.
