Consider the following theorem.
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circlefrom an external point, then the square of the length of thetangent equals the product of the length of the secant with thelength of its external segment.
RS
is tangent to the circle at S.
A circle isintersected by two line segments. Four points arelabeled.Given:
