Question

I literally have no clue how to do this: (Medal will be rewarded)


Line AD is tangent to Circle R
Segment RB = 4
Segment AD = 6
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, calculate Segment BD.

Answer 1

Whenever it says tangent I get thrown off..is there a particular formula to use with problems with tangent mentioned?

Answer 2

formula is opposite over adjacent

Answer 3

So is it BD over AD

Answer 4

AD over BD

Answer 5

So 6/BD

Answer 6

and then I use it in the Pythagorean theorem?

Answer 7

AD=6
Given

Answer 8

nvm .. yeah use it in Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 9

6/BD^2+4^2...I just confused myself :/
