If secant and the tangent of a circle intersect at a point outside the circle then prove that the area of the rectangle formed by the two line segments corresponding to the secant is equal to the area of the square formed by the line segment corresponding to the tangent
I find this question highly confusing. I do not know what this means. If you could please explain that to me and solve it if possible.

    I decided to change the title ("How do I solve this?") to something that distinguishes it from the other 50,000+ questions. Please always use an informative, descriptive title. That is, unless you are trying to camouflage your question from being seen.2012-12-21

    I don't understand: e have a secant and a tangent to a given circle: what "rectangle forme by the two segment corresponding to the secant" are we talking about here?? Is that perhaps the *cord* and the exterior part of the secant or what?2012-12-21

    So far I'm the only one who's up-voted this question or the answers other than my own.2012-12-22
