Let the radius of the circle be r. Then the line from the external point through the center of the circle which extends to the far point on the circle has length 3r .By the tangent - secant theorem
t^2 = 3r * r = 3r^2 ( where t is the length of the tangent).
So t = √(3r^2) = √3r answer.
Answer:
PR is an altitude
QT is a median.
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude is the perpendicular height and the median is a line from 1 vertex to the middle of the opposite side.
