Question

Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

`x=11.2\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

The intersecting chords theorem states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

so

In this problem

`x(25)=(14)(20)`

solve for x

Divide by 25 both sides

`x=(14)(20)/25`

`x=11.2\ units`
