PMN and PQR are two secants of the circle MQTRN and PT is a tangent. If PM = 5cm, PN = 12cm and PQ = 4.8cm, calculate the respective lengths of PR and PT in centimeters
7.3, 5.9
7.7, 12.5
12.5, 7.7
5.9, 7.3
Correct answer is C
\(\frac{PQ}{PN} = \frac{PM}{PR} = \frac{QM}{NR}\)
\(\frac{4.8}{12} = \frac{5}{PR}\)
PR = \(\frac{5 \times 12}{4.8} = \frac{50}{4}\)
= 12.5
\(\frac{PQ}{PN} = \frac{PM}{PT} = \frac{TM}{NT}\)
\(\frac{PT}{12} = \frac{5}{PR}\)
PT2 = 60
PT = \(\sqrt{60}\)
= 7.746
= 7.7
