Question : Circle O has a radius of 4 . The length of segment QR is 4 and PQ is a tangent segment. Describe 2 different methods you can use to find length of PQ.
Work I have done so far :
Method 1:
OR • RQ = PQ²
12 • 4 = PQ²
√48 = PQ²
√48 = 7 ( 6.928)
Method 2:
a² + 42 = 82
a² + 16 = 64
Subtract 16 from both sides
a= 48
√48 =7 ( 6.928)
