Answer 3

Theorem:
If two chords intersect in a circle, the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other.

Answer 4

That means ab = cd

Answer 5

ok so XY=VW?

Answer 6

Let's see.
I need to draw your problem.

Answer 7

ok and when you're done let me know if the equation would be (4-n)(4)=(4)(n) ok?

Answer 8

Yes, your equation is correct.

Answer 9

Now you need to solve it for n.

Answer 10

i got n=2

Answer 11

(4-n)(4)=(4)(n)
16 - 4n = 4n
16 = 8n
2 = n
n = 2

You are correct again.
