28 In the diagram below of circle O, secant ABC and tangent AD are drawn.

If CA=12.5 and CB=4.5 determine and state the length of DA

Respuesta :

The length of the side DA from secant theorem is; 10

How to find the length of a Tangent?

From the cyclic diagram attached;

Since CA = 12.5 and CB = 4.5, it means that;

BA = 12.5 - 4.5 = 8

From the secant theorem, we know that;

The product of the secant and its exterior segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.

Thus;

Length of DA = √(8 * 12.5)

Length of DA = 10
