Given:
Tangent segment MN = 6
External segment NQ = 4
Secant segment NP =x + 4
To find:
The length of line segment PQ.
Solution:
Property of tangent and secant segment:
If a secant and a tangent intersect outside a circle, then the product of the secant segment and external segment is equal to the product of the tangent segment.
Subtract 16 from both sides.
Divide by 4 on both sides.
The length of line segment PQ is 5 units.
