Assume that all segments that appear to be tangent are find the value of x

3 answers

Without a diagram or specific reference to segments, it is impossible to solve for x. Please provide more information.
JL = 11
LK=7
JK=x
If JL and LK are tangent segments and JK is a secant line, we can use the tangent-secant theorem:

(JK)^2 = JL * (JL + LK)

Plugging in the values we know:

(x)^2 = 11 * (11 + 7)
x^2 = 198
x ≈ 14.07

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 14.07.
