Given are a circumference $(C, r)$, a point $P$, a line $S$ and a length $D$. Determine a line $T$ that passes through $P$ and has intersection with circumference at the points $A$ and $B$ so that the sum of the distances of $A$ and $B$ to the line $S$ is equal to $D$.

Could someone help me with this please?

    Can you fix the spellings and make it more mathematical? I mean, you're given a circle $C$ of radius $r$, a point $P$, a line $S$. Are these objects floating or bear some connection. Like, $P$ lies on the circumference of $C$ or $S$ is a chord of the circle or some such thing. In particular, a figure will be appreciated as well.2012-03-10

    @draks, sorry, I can't find it there. I suspect it was deleted, by the system or by the poster.2012-04-10
