Answer:
RS = RT = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The two tangents from a point are the same length.
RS = RT
y = y^2/2
y^2/2 -y = 0
y(y/2 -1) = 0 . . . . factor out y
Values of y that make these factors zero are ...
y = 0 . . . . . . . . true if points R, S, T are coincident on the circle
y/2 -1 = 0 ⇒ y = 2
Then the segment lengths are ...
RS = RT = 2
