Answer 1

C,XS=16

Explanation:

3b-1=b+5

3b-b=5+1

2b=6

b=6/2=3

TS=b+5=3+5=8

XS=2 TS=2×8=16

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C. 16

Explanation:

UV is a diameter of the circle. If it is perpendicular to the chord XS, then it bisects that chord. This means ...

XT = TS

3b -1 = b +5

2b = 6

b = 3

TS = b +5 = 8

The chord length is 2·TS = 2·8 = 16 units.
