The intersecting secant-tangent theorem says that
where T is the point at which line segment PO touches the circle. Similarly,
so we have
OP is of course as long as itself, and AO and BO are radii of the same circle so they have the same lengths.
This means triangles APO and BPO are congruent, which means angles APO and BPO are congruent, so angle APB is bisected by PO.
A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. The correct option is A.
<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.
For a parallelogram, the pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel. Therefore,
1.) For the first pair.
(x+8) = 15
x = 7
2.) For the second pair
(x+2)=(2x-5)
x + 2 = 2x - 5
2 + 5 = 2x - x
x = 7
(x+2) = (7+2) = 9
Since the measure of the pair of opposite sides is 15 units, the pair of the other two sides measure 9 units.
Hence, the correct option is A.
