In the figure, ray PQ touches the circle at point Q. If PQ =12, PR = 8, then find PS. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - PS = 18 Ray PQ is tangent touching the circle at point Q and line PRS is secant intersecting the circle at points R and S. `:. PQ^(2) = PR xx PS ` …( By tangent secant segments theorem ) `:. 12^(2) = 8 xx PS ` `:. PS = (12 xx 12)/( 8)` `:. PS = 18` |
