Answer:

16) B. 18

17) A. 5

Explanation:

The Tangent Secant Theorem states that AB*BC=DC^2, so we can plug in the values to say

8x=12^2

8x=144

x=144/8

x=18

To find the segment of intersecting chords, we use the formula AE*EG=FE*ED. Plugging in the values we find

8x=10*4

8x=40

x=40/8

x=5
