line segment st is congruent to which line segment?\n○ sk\n○ ku\n○ ut\n○ tk
line segment st is congruent to which line segment?\n○ sk\n○ ku\n○ ut\n○ tk
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall tangent - secant properties
If two tangent segments are drawn from an external point to a circle, then the two tangent segments are congruent. Here, point T is an external point to the circle with center K. Segments ST and UT are tangent segments drawn from point T to the circle.
Step2: Determine congruent segment
By the tangent - secant property, $\overline{ST}\cong\overline{UT}$.
Answer:
C. $\overline{UT}$
