Question

16. Find the length of x.

Answer 1

`\: \sf \: DE * BE =AE * CE \\ \\ \sf10 * x = 8 * 6 \\ \\ \sf10x = 48 \\ \\ \sf \: x = (48)/(10) \\ \\ \sf \: x = \cancel(48)/(10) \\ \\ \sf \red{x = 4.8}`

Answer 2

Explanation:

If two chords intersect inside a circle, then

DE * BE =AE * CE

10*x = 8*6

10x = 48

x = 48/10

x = 4.8
