Suppose RT = 16 in. and ST = 4 in. Is it possible to find the length of TU? If so, show how to find the length. If not explain why not.
In the londwing ngo T R (a) Describe the relationship among the lengths of the segments fori tangent segment, TU. You may use words and/or an equation. (b) Suppose RT = 16 in. and ST = 4 in. Is it possible to find the leng length. If not, explain why not. A. The length of the secant RT times its external segment ST, equa segment TU. Mathematically it can be written as RT x ST = (TU)2 B. RT = 9 in. and ST = 4 in. It is possible to find the value length TU ar Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem as RT x ST = (TU)2 (TU)2 = 9x4 = 36 TU = 30 So the length of TU 6 inchesC
