Question : $\overline{\mathrm{CT}}$ is a tangent to a circle at the point $\mathrm{T}$ on the circle. Chord $\overline{\mathrm{AB}}$ of the circle is extended to meet the tangent $\overline{\mathrm{CT}}$ at the point $\mathrm{C}$. If $\mathrm{m}(\overline{\mathrm{AB}})=3 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\mathrm{m}(\overline{\mathrm{BC}})=2.4 \mathrm{~cm}$, find the length (in $\mathrm{cm}$ ) of the tangent $\overline{\mathrm{CT}}$.

Correct Answer: 3.6
Solution : AC = 1.5 + 1.5 + 2.4 = 5.4 cm According to the chord tangent theorem, $TC^2=AC\times BC$ ⇒ $TC^2=5.4\times 2.4$ ⇒ $TC^2=12.96$ ⇒ $TC=\sqrt{12.96}$ ⇒ $TC=3.6$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 3.6 cm.
