Circles play an important part in our life. When a circular object is hung
on the wall with a cord at nail N, the cords NA and NB work like
tangents. Observe the figure, given that ∠ ANO = 30 and OA = 5 cm.
Based on the above, answer the following questions :
(i) Find the distance AN.
(ii) Find the measure of ∠AOB.
(iii) (a) Find the total length of cords NA, NB and the chord AB.
