Question

Solve for x (use steps i need to learn this pls)

Answer 1

x = 14

Explanation:

The figure shows two chords intersecting each other. Based on the Theorem of Intersecting chords, the product the segments of each chord is equal to the product of the other. This means:

24*x = 21*16

24x = 336

Divide both sides by 24

24x/24 = 336/24

x = 14
