Question

PLS HELP NO LINKS. Assume that RQ and RS tangent to circle T. solve for x.

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

Here, we want to solve for the value of x

mathematically, tangents drawn from the same point to touch two points on a circle, are the same distance from the external point

thus;

QR = RS

Thus;

3x + 8 = 26

3x = 26-8

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6
