Answer:

It is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

For XY to be a tangent XY must be perpendicular to radius at point of contact with circle (X).

Perpendicular also means 90° angle between XY and radius.

90° angle means XYZ should be a right angled triangle

Test for right angle triangle: pythagoras theorem.

3.6²+2.7²≠1.8²

Hence not right angled. XY not a tangent.
