Question 286041: how to find the diameter of a circle that is tangent to one line and a second line is perpendicular to the first line. The line tangent AT (T is the point touching the circle) to the circle measures 12. 12 is the length from T to A. A perpendicular line segment to AT is AB. AB is a measure of 8. B touches the outside of the circle but is not tangent.
