Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 4

y = 6m - 2

a = 8

b = 5

Required:

Value of m

SOLUTION:

x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.

According to the Intersecting chords theorem, a*b = x*y

Thus:

8*5 = 4*(6m - 2)

Solve for m

40 = 24m - 8

40 + 8 = 24m - 8 + 8

48 = 24m

\frac{48}{24} = \frac{24m}{24}

2 = m

The value of m = 2

Subtract 10 from the side length of 24 to get 14.

And use the side length of 5 to find another side length that also equals 5.

In total all your side lengths would be 10,5,5,24,14. And all of them together to arrive at an answer of 58.
