Question

Identify the value of x and the length of each secant segment. HELP ASAP!!

Answer 1

x = 7; NL = 12; NP = 20

Explanation:

ur welcome

Answer 2

`x=10, NL=8, NP=12`

Explanation:

we know that

Applying the Intersecting secant Theorem

`NL*NM=NP*NO`

substitute the given values and solve for x

`(3+5)*3=(2+x)*2`

`(8)*3=(2+x)*2`

`24=(2+x)*2`

`12=(2+x)`

`x=12-2=10`

Find the value of NP

`NP=(2+x)=2+10=12`

therefore

`x=10, NL=8, NP=12`
