Question

Find the measure of CD⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯. A. 8 B. 6 C. 5 D. 7

Answer 1

B.6 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Using the property of intersecting secant:-

$(DE)(CE)=(FE)(LE)$

$(4)(x-1+14)=(5)(x-4+5)$

$4(x+3)=(5x+1)$

$4x+12=5x+5$

$4x+-5x=5-12$

$-x=-7$

$x=7$

$So, CD=x-1=7-1=6$

$so,~your ~answer ~is ~B) ~6$
