Answer:
PS = 10cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, we use 3 theorems for this question:
1. Tangents from an extrenal point are equal in length
2. Radius is perpendicular to tangent
3. Perpendiculars from the centre to the chord bisect the chord
Now,
From theorem 1:
PQ = PR = 5cm
From theorem 2:
OQ ⊥ PS => ∠OQP = 90 degrees
From theorem 3:
PQ = SQ = PS/2
5 = PS/2
PS = 10cm
