Solve for x. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.
Find VT

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

The secant relation is ...

(TU)(TV) = (TS)(TL)

4(4+x) = 5(5+(-3+x))

16 +4x = 10 +5x . . . . simplify

6 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10-4x

The length of VT is (x+4), so is (6+4) = 10.

VT is 10
