Question

Please help!

Use the figure to answer the questions.

(a) Describe the relationship among the lengths of the segments formed by two secants. You may use words and/or and equation.

(b) Suppose CG = 3 in, CH = 2 in, and GE = 5 in, is it possible to find the length of DH? If so, show how to find the length. If not, explain why not.


Help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Part A: The relationship between the length of the two secants (H and G) are about 15 inch^2 considering the segments formed from the secants are about 1/5th the size of the circle.

Part B: Considering the points CG (3), CH (2) and GE (5) It would be possible to find estimated value based off the given values for each points compromised.
