17. Theorem Tangent Perpendicular

18. Theorem Tangent Perpendicular Converse

19. EXAMPLE 4 Verify a tangent to a circle SOLUTION Use the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. Because 12 2 + 35 2 = 37 2, PST is a right triangle and ST PT. So, ST is perpendicular to a radius of P at its endpoint on P. By Theorem 10.1, ST is tangent to P. In the diagram, PT is a radius of P. Is ST tangent to P ?

20. EXAMPLE 5 Find the radius of a circle In the diagram, B is a point of tangency. Find the radius r of C. SOLUTION You know from Theorem 10.1 that AB BC, so ABC is a right triangle. You can use the Pythagorean Theorem. AC 2 = BC 2 + AB 2 (r + 50) 2 = r 2 + 80 2 r 2 + 100r + 2500 = r 2 + 6400 100r = 3900 r = 39 ft. Pythagorean Theorem Substitute. Multiply. Subtract from each side. Divide each side by 100.
