The intersection of the circle will result in either Tangent or Secant. Secant is a line intersecting a circle at two different point. This concept explains the relation between the circle and line intersecting it.
From the given diagram,
The and intersects the circle at the point H and I.
∴ It can also represented that the and intersects at a point G.
From the given options is the secant line that intersects the circle twice.
When you do the inverse operation which in this case would be subtraction you do 54-17 and then you do 17 minus 17 which leaves you with the variable 54-17=34 so k=34
