Answer:
c. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
PA² = (BC + PB) × PB => tangent-secant theorem
PA = 8
PB = 4
BC = ?
Substitute
8² = (BC + 4) × 4
64 = 4BC + 16
64 - 16 = 4BC + 16 - 16
48 = 4BC
48/4 = 4BC/4
12 = BC
BC = 12
Answer: 23
When using multiplication with brackets, you multiply the number by all the numbers within the bracket before adding them together.
Therefore when it is 8(7 + 23) it basically means: 8(7) + 8(23)
