Math Problem Statement

Find the length of the unknown segment (x) in the given diagrams.

Solution

From the uploaded image, the task is to find the length of the unknown segment (xx) in the given diagrams.

Problem Analysis:

Figure 5:

  • This figure involves a circle with a chord and a secant segment intersecting at a point outside the circle.
    Using the secant-tangent theorem, the formula is: (x+5)x=42(x + 5) \cdot x = 4^2 (Secant segment: x+5x+5 and xx, tangent segment: 4).

Figure 6:

  • This figure shows intersecting chords within the circle.
    Using the chord intersection theorem, the formula is: EAEN=JSJNEA \cdot EN = JS \cdot JN Given: EA=4EA = 4, EN=xEN = x, JS=11JS = 11, JN=12JN = 12.
