1 answer:
no it is not a tangent
for it to be a tangent to the circle Angle A would have to be a right angle.
to check if its a right angled triangle, you can use pythagoras.
this shows it is not a right angled triangle because this calculation does not give us 10.3
therefore it is not a tangent and there is no right angle
