  13. HK and HG are tangent to F. Find HG. Example 4: Using Properties of Tangents 2 segments tangent to from same ext. point segments . HK = HG 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.

  14. RS and RT are tangent to Q. Find RS. Substitute for RS and x – 6.3 for RT. x 4 Check It Out! Example 4a 2 segments tangent to from same ext. point segments . RS = 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.
