The distance from the external point ^2 = The external segment of the secant * the full length of the secant.
tangent distance = 6
External portion of the secant = 3
Full length of the secant = x + 3

6^2 = 3*(x + 3) Remove the brackets. 
36 = 3x + 9  Subtract 9 from both sides.
36 - 9 = 3x
27 = 3x Divide by 3
x = 9  <<<<<<<Answer.

What is the area of this polygon?
ra1l [238]
Step 1) Draw a line from point F to point S. A rectangle forms (rectangle FSCW)

Step 2) Find the area of this rectangle. The area is 18 square units because it is 2 units high and 9 units across (9*2 = 18). You can count out the spaces or you can note how we go from x = -4 to x = 5 so subtracting the values gives -4-5 = -9 which has an absolute value of 9. 

Step 3) Find the area of triangle FSN. The base is 9 units and the height is 6 units (count out the spaces or subtract y values). So the area is A = b*h/2 = 9*6/2 = 54/2 = 27

Step 4) Add up the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle: 18+27 = 45

Final Answer: 45 square units

note: another way to find the answer is to find the area of rectangle WABC where point A is at (-4,4) and point B is at (5,4). Then subtract off the triangular areas of AFN and BNS
