This is a protest People who ask questions and need our help. You know some people answer for points. They just want points and don't give us the correct answers. I asked a question twice, and people just wanted the points. ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM DO THIS. This website is for people who need help. Some people do ask questions bc they dont want the points, and people answer it. I'm not talking about them. Im talking about when someone really needs our help. If this question gets deleted, ill make another one, and another one. Try to stop me. But this is unfair. And i will protest until i die

I agree with you very much

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
