Question

ray pq touches the circle at point Q. PQ 12, PR 8, find PS and RS.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Ray PQ is a tangent to the and P-R-S is a secant of the circle

PQ^2=PR INTO PS

..12^2=8 into PS

144/8=PS

18=PS

And PR+RS=PS.......(P-R-S)

RS=18-8

RS=10

PS=18 units and RS=10 units
