Question

If U, S, equals, 54US=54, S, T, equals, 82ST=82, and V, W, equals, 45VW=45, find the length of start overline, X, V, end overline
XV
. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.

Answer 1

I’m missing the diagram or a clear description of how the points/segments are arranged. There are several standard circle/secant/chord configurations that use labels like U, S, T, V, W and an exterior/interior point X, and each gives a different equation — so I can’t determine XV from just the three numbers.

Could you either
- upload the figure, or
- say precisely which points are collinear and whether X is inside or outside the circle, and which segments are secants/chords (for example: “X is outside the circle; one secant through X meets the circle at U and T with S between them so UT = US + ST; another secant through X meets the circle at V and W so VW = 45”),

and I’ll compute XV. If you want, tell me which of the common configurations it is and I can show the corresponding solution.
