What is the length of line segment PQ? If you can please explain, thanks.

nydimaria [60]

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.

$\Rightarrow NQ\times NP = MN^2$
