In both cases,
(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.
(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.
(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
Answer:
CU = 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
substituting in values to the ratios
=
( cross- multiply )
24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )
36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )
36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )
x = 4
CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117
