1. **State the problem:**
We are given a circle with points A, B, D on a vertical line and a radius labeled $a$. Segments $AD=12$ and $AB=10$ are given. We want to find the equation that results from applying the secant and tangent segment theorem.
2. **Recall the secant and tangent segment theorem:**
If a tangent from a point outside the circle touches the circle at one point and a secant from the same point intersects the circle at two points, then:
$$\text{(tangent segment)}^2 = \text{(external part of secant)} \times \text{(whole secant)}$$
3. **Identify segments:**
- Tangent segment length = $10$
- Secant segment parts: external part $a$, whole secant $a + 12$
4. **Apply the theorem:**
$$10^2 = a(a + 12)$$
5. **Rewrite the equation:**
$$10^2 = a(a + 12) \implies 100 = a^2 + 12a$$
6. **Conclusion:**
The equation that results from applying the secant and tangent segment theorem is:
$$10^2 = a(a + 12)$$
**Final answer:**
$$10^2 = a(a + 12)$$
