A circle is shown. Secants S V and T V intersect at point V outside of the circle. Secant S V intersects the circle at point W. Secant T V intersects the circle at point U. The length of T U is y minus 2, the length of U V is 8, the length of S W is y +4, and the length of W V is 6.
What is the length of line segment SV?

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Intersecting Secants Theorem, states that: If two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external secant segment is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external secant segment.

so

In this problem

we have

substitute the given values

solve for y

Find the length of segment SV

substitute the value of y

yeah and

step-by-step explanation:

you know what it isnt great cheating

water molecules will move from the side of higher water concentration to the side of lower concentration until both solutions are isotonic. at this point, equilibrium is reached. in an isotonic solution, the flow of water in and out of the cell is happening at the same rate.

hope this < 3
