$OC = \sqrt{2^2+5^2} = \sqrt{29}$

Max. $|z| = \sqrt{29}+3$

Min. $|z| = \sqrt{29}-3$

(iii)
Max. $|z-6-i| = \sqrt{(2-6)^2 + (2-1)^2} = \sqrt{17}$

KS Comments:

This question is standard tutorial question. Students should not struggle to be able to produce that triangle to apply your trigonometry formulaes. If you have problems drawing a good diagram to scale, I recommend students consider using a graph paper in exams.
