So what im given is that AB is tangent to circle O, and the radius of Circle O is 6

Data:
r = 6
AB Tangent to Circle O

Find:

Distance between PA and PB
Equation of the line AB

Please I need help fast!!! I would really appreciate it!! thanks!!!

Find:

Distance between PA and PB <<< Where is point P - or did you mean length of the line AB?Equation of the line AB

Please I need help fast!!! I would really appreciate it!! thanks!!!

To find the equation of line AB:

Find the co-ordinate of the center O and - realize that origin C, center O and the tangent point m are collinear.- find the co-ordinate of tangent point m

Find the equation of the radial line CO.

The tangent is perpendicular to this line ? find its slope ?knowing co-ordinates of tangent point 'm' ? find equation of AB.

Knowing the x-intercept (point B) and the y-intercept (point A) from the above equation ? find the length of AB.

Please show your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
