Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the secants is the same when set up as full length to external length.
Formula
MN/LN = QN/PN
Givens
LN = 22 + 14 = 36
MN = 14
PN = 32
QN = x
Solution
14/36 = x / (32) Multiply both sides by 32
14*32 / 36 = x Combine 14 and 32
448/36 = x Divide by 36 and switch
x = 12.4
Answers
PN (External) = 13 is the closest answer
Length LN = 36
