Answer:

21

Explanation:

In the diagram, the three tangents (segment touching a circle at one point) have equal length.

6y - 3 = 29 - 2y

8y = 32

y = 4


Since the lengths of segments AM and AN are equivalent, we can substitute the value of y into the expression, 6y - 3, to find AN.

6y - 3 = 6*4 - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21
