The equation to show a relationship between the segment lengths is

LM² = LK * KJ

What is secant tangent theorem

Secant tangent theorem states that: If a secant and a tangent are drawn from an external point to a circle, then the square of the length of the secant segment is equal to the product of the length of the tangent segment and the entire length of the secant.

Based on the figure, this is represented mathematically as

LM² = LK * KJ
