Question

Solve for x 20 points

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent squared is equal to the secant's total length multiplied by the secant's length without the part inside the circle.

So here, that will look like: 36² = 27 * (27 + x)

Expansion and multiplication gives us: 1296 = 729 + 27x

Subtract from both sides: 567 = 27x

Divide from both sides: x = 21.
