Answer to Problem 14CUR
The value of
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The length of tangent segment is
Calculation:
It is known that if a tangent and secant is drawn from exterior point to a
Consider the figure as:
In the given figure, BA is tangent, BD is secant and BC and external secant segment. So,
To find the value of x , substitute x for BA, 9 for BC and 11 for CD in above formula:
In the given figure, BA is tangent, BD is secant and BC and external secant segment. So,
To calculate the value of
Therefore, the value of
