Question

Identify the type of segments as 2 CHORDS, 2 SECANTS, OR SECANT AND TANGENT. Then, find the variable.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1)

SOLUTION

5(x+5) = 6. (6 +9)

90 = 5x + 25

13 = x

2)

SOLUTION

x (3) = (4) (6)

3x = 24

x= 8

3)

SOLUTION

3 (3 + x + 2) = (x+1)(x + 1 + x – 1) Use Theorem

3x + 15=2x²+2x

0 = 2x² – x – 15

0 = (x – 3) (2x + 5) Solve for x

3 = x Use positivesolution
