Question

in figure PS is a tangent segment line PR is a secant if PQ=3.6, QR=6.4 find PS use the formula PSsquare =PR×PQ​

Answer 1

Given:

PS is a tangent segment line PR is a secant. PQ=3.6, QR=6.4

To find:

Find PS use the formula PSsquare =PR×PQ​

Solution:

From given, we have the data as follows.

PS is a tangent segment line PR is a secant.

PQ = 3.6, QR = 6.4

PS² = PQ × PR

PS² = PQ × (PQ + QR)

PS² = 3.6 × (3.6 + 6.4)

PS² = 3.6 × 10

PS² = 36

PS = 6

Therefore, the value of PS is 6.
