Question 61
In a circle, chords PQ and TS are produced to meet at R. If RQ = 14.4 cm, PQ = 11.2 cm, and SR = 12.8 cm, then the length of chord TS is:
Solution
From the property,
RQ $$\times RP = SR \times RT$$
14.4 $$\times (RQ + PQ) = 12.8 \times RT$$
14.4 $$\times (14.4 + 11.2) = 12.8 \times RT$$
368.14 = 12.8 $$\times RT$$
RT = 28.8 cm
RT = TS + SR
28.8 = 12.8 + TS
TS = 16 cm
