Question

What is the value of n? Enter your answer in the box. n =

Answer 1

If you are in geometry and you are solving for n, N should be the number of sides for your shape.

Answer 2

n = 6 is the answer.

Explanation:

As we know the theorem if two cords intersect each other within a circle the product of the measures of the segments of one cord will be equal to the measures of the segments of the other cord.

Hence 7 × (n + 4) = 5 × (n + 8)

7n + 28 = 5n + 40

7n - 5n = 40 - 28

2n = 12

n = 6

Therefore n = 6 is the answer.
