Example 1

Two chords seg AB and seg. CD intersect in the circle at P. Given that l (seg.PC) = l (seg.PB) = 1.5 cm and l (seg.PD) = 3 cm. Find l (seg.AP).

Solution:

l (seg AP) ´ l (seg PB) = l (seg DP) ´ l (seg PC)

l (seg AP) ´ 1.5 = 3 ´ 1.5

l (seg AP) = 3 cm.

Example 2

Seg.PA and seg.PC are two secants where l (seg.PB) = 3.5 cm, l (seg.PD) = 4 cm and l (seg.DC) = 3 cm. Find l (seg.AB).

Solution:

l (seg AP) ´ l (seg BP) = l (seg CP) ´ l (seg DP)

x ´ 3.5 = 7 ´ 4

x = 8

l (seg AB) = l (seg AP) - l (seg BP)

= 8 - 3.5

= 4.5 cm.

Example 3

PT is a tangent intersecting the secant through AB at P. Given l (seg. PA) = 2.5 cm. and l (seg.AB) = 4.5 cm., find l (seg PT).

Solution:

l (seg PT)2 = l (seg PA) ´ l (seg PB)

= 2.5 ´ 7

= 17.5

l (seg. PT) = 4.2 cm.
