Solve for x. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent. X=

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

(x+18) * 18 = 30^2

(x+18) * 18 = 900

Divide each side by 18

(x+18) * 18/18 = 900/18

(x+18)  = 50

Subtract 18 from each side

x+18-18 = 50-18

x=32

50

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent-secant theorem

what are you trying to solve here

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
