The length of DF is 36.

What is tangent?

The tangent is defined as a line touching circles or an ellipse at only one point.

As, the tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle.

So, <CDF =90

Now, using Pythagoras theorem in CDF

CF² = FD² + DC²

39² = DF² + 15²

1521-225= DF²

DF = √1296

DF= 36.

Hence, the length of DF is 36.
