In the figure given above, ‘O’ is the centre of the circle, seg PS is a tangent segment and S is the point of contact. Line PR is a secant.
If PQ = 3.6, QR = 6.4, find PS.

Solution:

PS2 = PQ × square ......(tangent secant segments theorem)

= PQ × (PQ + square)

= 3.6 × (3.6 + 6.4)

= 3.6 × square

= 36

∴ PS = square .....(by taking square roots)

∴ 1 + tan2 θ = (25/7)^square

∴ tan2 θ = 625/49 - square

= (625 - 49)/49

= square/49
