Question

Find the values of x and y using the given​ chord, secant, and tangent lengths.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 15.65

y = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the equation for x and y

Equation for x is given as

x² = 7( 7+28) ..........Equation 1

14(14 + y) = x²........ Equation 2

Solving for Equation 1

x² = 7( 7+28)

x² = 7(35)

x² = 245

x = √245

x = 15.65

From Equation 1 , x² has been determined to be 245

Therefore we substitute 245 for y in Equation 2

14(14 + y) = x²........ Equation 2

14(14 + y) = 245

196 + 14y = 245

14y = 245 - 196

14y = 49

y = 49 ÷ 14

y = 3.5
