The calculated value of z using the theorem of intersecting chords is 5.6

How to determine the value of z

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The circle and the intersecting chords

Using the theory of intersecting chords, we have

z * 5 = 7 * 4

Evaluate the products

5z = 28

So, we have

z = 28/5

Evaluate

z = 5.6

hence. the value of z is 5.6
