Answer:

33

Explanation:

The product of the secant segment lengths is a constant.

... TC×CV = UC×CW

... 14(2x+2) = 12(2x+5) . . . . substitute the values from the diagram

... 28x +28 = 24x +60 . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 4x = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -28-24x

... x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

UW = 12 + 2x + 5 = 17+2·8 . . . . UW = UC + CW

UW = 33
