You can observe in the figure that JK is a tangent and KH is a secant and both intersect at the point K. Then, according to the Intersecting secant-tangent Theorem:

$JK^2=KE*KH$

You know that:

$KH=KE+HE$

Then KE is:

$KE=KH-HE$

$KE=16-12$

$KE=4$

Now you can substitute the value of KE and the value of KH into $JK^2=KE*KH$ and solve for JK. Then the result is:

$JK^2=4*16\\JK^2=64\\JK=\sqrt{64}\\JK=8$

An estimator is preparing a bid for a home remodeling project. She has determined that the new garage needs 324 feet of 2 × 10

Fudgin [204]

Find area of lumber 2 x 10 = 20
garage needs 324 feet, rec room needs 430, bonus room needs 283
324 + 430 + 283 = 1037
1037/20= 51.85 feet of lumber
