document.write( "Question 192845: The line PR is tangent to circle T. Circle T has a radius with a length of X that forms a right angle with tangent PR. There is also a line TR which finishes forming a right triangle. Line TR is broken up into two parts. TE and ER. TE is a radius equaling X, and ER equals 16. Tangent PR equals 22. The question says to solve for TE, which equals X. I have already tried the pythagorean theorem but it is not working. \n" ); document.write( "
