Question

How would i set up the equation to solve this problem?

Answer 1

given crossing secants, the ratio of parts is equal

Answer 2

the crossing is outside the cirlce on yours, but the parts are still there

Answer 3

So, 53x= 62x ?

Answer 4

i still dont get how to set up the equation..your problem doesnt look like mine.

Answer 5

thats spose to be a 5 up top, not a 3x lol

Answer 6

ohh.. 5x+5+3x=6+6+2x ??

Answer 7

since there are parts that need to be added: 6 + 2x and 5 + 3x to make a total length of one part of the crossings

Answer 8

so: 5(5+3x) = 6(6+2x)

Answer 9

..k

Answer 10

x=11/3

Answer 11

25+15x = 36+12x

3x = 11

yes

so, since JK is 3x, JK = 3(11/3)

Answer 12

thx.(:
