Answer:

EB = 20

Explanation:

Given 2 chords intersecting inside a circle, then

Th product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

10x = 8(x + 5) ← distribute

10x = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 ), thus

x = EB = 20
