Answer:
x + 10 = 24
Explanation:
In the figure attached,
There are two external points A and B.
Fro point A two tangents AD and AE have been drawn and From point B tangents BE and BC have been drawn.
Since AD = 10 units,
Therefore, AE = 10 units
(Since tangents drawn from a point to a circle are same in measure, therefore, AD = AE)
Therefore,
BE = AB - AE
Since BE = BC
So BC = AB - AE
x = 24 - 10
x + 10 = 24
Therefore, (x + 10) = 24 will be the equation to be used to solve for x.
