FInd the measure of the segment. 􏰀M has radius 4.From external point E,a tangent is drawn meeting 􏰀M at T. Line ET has length 1/3 the length of line EM. Find ET.

Answer 1

Your notation is unclear, but I assume you mean a circle with center M and radius 4.

This is just a disguised way of asking about the Pythagorean theorem.

EMT is a right triangle with hypotenuse EM and legs ET and 4.

Since 3ET = EM, plug the values into the Pythagorean theorem and solve for ET.
