Find the length of UT.

Mathematics

Answer: A. 32

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the intersecting chord theorem and segment addition postulate.

The<u> intersecting chord theorem </u>states that when two chords intersect at a point, P, the product of their respective partial segments is equal.

The<u> Segment Addition Postulate</u> states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

CW = 12

TW = 14

VW = 2x + 5

UW = 2x + 2

<u>Given expression deducted from intersecting chord theorem</u>

CW · VW = TW · UW

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

(12) · (2x + 5) = (14) · (2x + 2)

<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property</u>

24x + 60 = 28x + 28

<u>Subtract 14x on both sides</u>

24x + 60 - 24x = 28x + 28 - 24x

60 = 4x + 28

<u>Subtract 28 on both sides</u>

60 - 28 = 4x + 28 - 28

32 = 4x

<u>Divide 4 on both sides</u>

32 / 4 = 4x / 4

x = 8

<u>Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate</u>

UT = UW + TW

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

UT = 2x + 2 + 14

<u>Substitute x value into the expression</u>

UT = 2 (8) + 2 + 14

UT = 16 + 2 + 14

<u>Combine like terms</u>

UT = 32

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope from to points you can follow this equation

m=y2-y1 / x2-x1

so plug in the points

1-3/ 1-0

-2/1
