<h3>Answer:  9</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.

The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135

Therefore, 15*b = 135

Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b

15b = 135

15b/15 = 135/15

b = 9

So the base is 9

Check:

area = base*height = 9*15 = 135

so the answer is confirmed

side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.

Find KL and show work

Answer:

<u>Secant</u>: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.

<u>Intersecting Secants Theorem</u>

If two secant segments are drawn to the circle from one exterior point, the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external part.

From inspection of the given diagram:

  • M = Exterior point
  • MK = secant segment and ML is its external part
  • MS = secant segment and MN is its external part

Therefore:

⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS

Given:

  • MK = (x + 15) + 6 = x + 21
  • ML = 6
  • MS = 7 + 11 = 18
  • MN = 7

Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for x:

⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS

⇒ 6(x + 21) = 7 · 18

⇒ 6x + 126 = 126

⇒ 6x = 0

⇒ x = 0

Substituting the found value of x into the expression for KL:

⇒ KL = x + 15

⇒ KL = 0 + 15

⇒ KL = 15
