Answer:

FD = 26

Explanation:

CD = ED --- (secant property)

so, ==>>

13x - 16 = 4x + 11

13x - 4x = 11 + 16

9x = 27

x = 27÷9

x = 3

side ED = 4x + 11 = 4×3 + 11

side ED = 23

side FE = 12

ΔFED = 90° ...... (tangent secant property)

so.........

FE² + ED² = FD² ......... ( by pythagoras theorm)

12² + 23² = FD²

144 + 529 = FD²

673 = FD²

673 = FD

26 = FD
