Example 4: Using Properties of Tangents

HK and HG are tangent to F. Find HG.


2 segments tangent to
HK = HG  from same ext. point
 segments .
5a – 32 = 4 + 2a Substitute 5a – 32 for
HK and 4 + 2a for HG.
3a – 32 = 4 Subtract 2a from both sides.
3a = 36 Add 32 to both sides.
a = 12 Divide both sides by 3.
HG = 4 + 2(12) Substitute 12 for a.
= 28 Simplify.
Check It Out! Example 4a
RS and RT are tangent to Q. Find RS.
2 segments tangent to 
RS = RT from same ext. point 
segments .
x
Substitute 4 for RS and
x – 6.3 for RT.
x = 4x – 25.2 Multiply both sides by 4.
–3x = –25.2 Subtract 4x from both sides.
x = 8.4 Divide both sides by –3.
Substitute 8.4 for x.

= 2.1 Simplify.
