Hi there!
Since ST is a tangent to the circle, we can use the relationship: tangent squared = external secant segment x entire secant segment.
WORK:
(I will be using x in place of ST)
x^2 = 7(23 + 7)
x^2 = 7(30)
x^2 = 210
x = squareroot(210) or approximately 14.5 inches
Hope this helps!! :)
<h2>sorry I can't help you to solve the equation</h2>
i think the best answer for this question is A)
2x^2 +3x -4 +8 -3x -5x^2 +2
-3x^2 + 6
Answer is C) -3x^2 + 6
