Question

Segment length geometry honors

Answer 1

x = 15

Explanation:

Assuming you require the value of x

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the external part and the whole of the other secant, that is

9(9 + x) = 8(8 + 19), that is

81 + 9x = 8 × 27 = 216 ( subtract 81 from both sides )

9x = 135 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 15
