Answer 5

outside length * whole secant = outside length * whole secant
AB * AC = AD * AE
2 * AC = 1.5 * 13.3

Answer 6

Why is it 1.5*13.3?

Answer 7

I thought it was 1.5*11.8

Answer 8

you have 13.3 written above for AE

Answer 9

I know, but wouldn't the correct multiplication be 11.8*1.5 (DE * AD)?

Answer 10

no, it's AE * AD. you have to use the entire length of the secant. DE is just the part inside the circle.
