Question

Solve for X
1) 5
2) 6
3) 4
4) 3

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

given 2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then

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

9 × 4x = 8(4x + 2)

36x = 32x + 16 ( subtract 32x from both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4
