As, 5, 12 and 13 form a pythagorean triplet.
Which means OTX is a right angles trangle right angles at T.

Which means angle OTX = 90° .

Which means

Yes XY is a tangent.

Because A tangent makes 90° angle with the radius at that point of contact.

lyudmila [28]
Notice that the 2 expressions have 2 common terms.

(r-s) is just (s-r) times (-1)

similarly

(t-s) is just (s-t) times (-1)

this means that :

(r-s) (t-s) + (s-r) (s-t)=-(s-r)[-(s-t)]+(s-r) (s-t)

the 2 minuses in the first multiplication cancel each other so we have:

-(s-r)[-(s-t)]+(s-r) (s-t)=(s-r) (s-t)+(s-r) (s-t)=2(s-r) (s-t)
