Answer:
x = 12
y = 6√3
Explanation:
✅Apply the intersecting secant theorem to find x. Thus:
6(6 + x) = 7(7 + 8³/7)
Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
6(6 + x) = 7(7 + 59/7)
36 + 6x = 49 + 59
36 + 6x = 108
6x = 108 - 36
6x = 72
Divide both sides by 6
x = 72/6
x = 12
✅Apply the tangent-secant theorem to find y. Thus:
y² = 6(6 + x)
Plug in the value of x
y² = 6(6 + 12)
y² = 6(18)
y² = 108
y = √108
y = 6√3
