Answer:

x = 8.


Explanation:

The external secent line theorem says,
S1E1 = S2E2.

Secent s1 and s2.
External E1 and E2.

E2 = 12.
S2 = 32

S1 = 8 + x.
E1 = 8.

12*32 = 8(8+x).
384 = 8(8+x).
48 = 8+x
x = 40.

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to the circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant, that is

8(8 + x) = 12(12 + 20)

8(8 + x) = 12 × 32 = 384 ( divide both sides by 8 )

8 + x = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 40

Whats the area of this shape
forsale [732]
First cut the shape into a square, triangle and rectangle. Then add all 3 areas. Area of a quadrilateral is A= b x h So once square is 4 X 4= 16. The rectangle has a area of 4 x 2= 8. The triangle, using the formula 1/2bh has an area of 1/2 x 2 x 4 = 4. So the area of the shape is 16 + 8 + 4 = 28 units
