To solve the problems presented, we can use properties of circles and segments.

**Problem 1: Finding Segment HE**
In the first scenario with chords FG and HK intersecting at point E, we can use the intersecting chords theorem which states that if two chords intersect, the products of the lengths of the segments of each chord are equal. Here, we have:

- \( FE \times EG = HE \times EK \)

Substituting the known values:

- \( 12 \times 7 = HE \times 21 \)

Calculating:

- \( 84 = HE \times 21 \)

Now, solve for HE:

- \( HE = \frac{84}{21} = 4 \)

Thus, Segment HE is **4 units long**.

---

**Problem 2: Finding Length of Chord CD**
In the second scenario with chords AB and CD intersecting at point E, we apply the same property. Given:

- \( a = 13 \text{ mm}, b = 20 \text{ mm}, d = 10 \text{ mm} \)

Using:

- \( a \times b = c \times d \) (where c is the length we want to find for chord CD)

So,

- \( 13 \times 20 = c \times 10 \)

Calculating:

- \( 260 = c \times 10 \)

Now, solve for c:

- \( c = \frac{260}{10} = 26 \)

Thus, the length of chord CD is **26 mm**.

---

**Problem 3: Finding Length of Segment BE**
For the third scenario, using the properties of perpendicular segments from the center to the chord, we know:

- In a right triangle (triangle CBE, where C is center and E is where the radius meets chord AB), using the Pythagorean theorem:

Since \( AE = 8 \) inches and the whole length AB equals \( AE + BE \).

The radius \( CE^2 = AE^2 + BE^2 \).

We need to find BE. We don't have the radius, but we know the segments from geometry.

Assuming the total length of the chord AB is \( 16 \) because \( AE + BE = 8 + BE \), we must solve:

- If \( BE \) is \( x \), then \( 8 + x = 16 \).

So \( x = 8 \).

Thus, Segment BE is **8 inches long**.

---

**Problem 4: Finding Length of Segment SU**
For the fourth problem regarding the secant lines, we apply the external segment theorem:

The lengths of the segments are related to those of the two intersecting secants as follows:

- \( SQ \cdot SR = SU \cdot ST \)

The known values give us:

- \( 21 \cdot 8 = SU \cdot 4 \)

Calculating:

- \( 168 = SU \cdot 4 \)

Now resolve for SU:

- \( SU = \frac{168}{4} = 42 \)

So, Segment SU is **42 units long**.

---

**Problem 5: Finding Length of LF**
In the last problem, we apply the relationship of tangent lines to a circle:

Given \( KM \) and \( KL \) are tangents to the circle, and the angle \( \angle LFK = 23^\circ \), we see that forming the right triangle FKL means that:

Using the tangent function,

- Since we need \( LF \), we use:

\( \tan(23^\circ) = \frac{KL}{LF} = \frac{47}{LF} \)

Rearranging gives us:

- \( LF = \frac{47}{\tan(23^\circ)} \)

Calculating \( \tan(23^\circ) \):

- \( LF \approx 47 / 0.4245 \approx 110.9 \) feet

Rounding to the nearest foot gives us \( LF \approx 111 \).

Thus, \( LF \) is approximately **111 ft**.
