Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

6

BE × ED = AE × CE , that is

10 × 3x = 12(2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 12

30x = 24x + 12 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

then

ED = 3X = 3(2) = 6

7

RJ × JP = SJ × JQ , that is

6 × 3x = 4(4x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 4

18x = 16x + 4 ( subtract 16x from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

then

RP = RJ + JP = 6 + 3x = 6 + 3(2) = 6 + 6 = 12
