you will use the intersecting chords theorem http://www.mathopenref.com/chordsintersecting.html

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so, 4*4.5 = 6*(2p - 3) and you'll solve that equation for p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so, 18=12p-18 +18 36=12p /12 3=p

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

p = 3 is correct, nice job
