Question

line segment st is congruent to which line segment?
sk
ru
ut
tk

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the tangent - segment congruence theorem

If two tangent segments are drawn to a circle from the same external point, then the two tangent segments are congruent.

Step2: Identify the external point and tangent segments

In the given diagram, point \(T\) is an external point. \(\overline{ST}\) and \(\overline{UT}\) are tangent segments drawn from point \(T\) to the circle with center \(K\).

Answer:

\(\overline{UT}\)
