Question

Help!!!!!!!!!!plz!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

By intersecting secants theorem:

`9(2x - 17 + 9) = 8(8 + 10) \\ \\ 9(2x - 8) = 8 * 18 \\ \\ 2x - 8 = (144)/(9) \\ \\ 2x - 8 = 16 \\ \\ 2x = 16 + 8 \\ \\ 2x = 24 \\ \\ x = (24)/(2) \\ \\ x = 12`

CE = 9 + (2x - 17)

CE = 9 + (2*12 - 17)

CE = 9 + (24 - 17)

CE = 33 - 17

CE =16
