2  The tangent theorem states that if two segments are tangent to a circle and intersect one another, the length from where the segments touch the circle to where they intersect will be the same.

4  The radius of a circle is perpendicular to a line segment that is tangent to a circle at the point where the radius and the line segment intersect.

5 Line tangent to the circle Radius Radius is perpendicular to the tangent line at the point of tangency

6  Using this information you can solve for the unknown length of a line segment or the length of the radius if you known the length of the other line segment or radius.
