Answer:

The measure of the line segment GE is 18\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>The Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem</u> , states that the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment

so

In this problem

GE*GF=GH^{2}

substitute the values

(8+x)(8)=12^{2}

solve for x

8x+64=144

8x=144-64

8x=80

x=10

Find the measure of the line segment GE

GE=8+10=18\ units

laiz [17]

Option A:

I and III only the answers.

Solution:

Let white vases be "w" and red vases be "r".

Cost of total flower = $336

Cost of each vase = $11

Total cost of the centerpieces

                = Cost of (white vases + red vases)  + Cost of flowers

                = 11(w + r) + 336

                = 11w + 11r + 336

Total cost of the centerpieces = 11w + 11r + 336 = 11(w + r) + 336

Therefore I and III only the answers.

Option A is the correct answer.
