Answer 3

So in your image, it's hard to tell but that looks like a 6

Answer 4

I'm guessing the image isn't drawn to scale but even then I'm guessing 6 is the length of the internal part and not the entire secant

so to find the value of the whole secant
6 + 2 = ?

Answer 5

8

Answer 6

Oh do I square the 8 so its 64?

Answer 7

oh wait nvm

Answer 8

good, that's going to be the entire length

Answer 9

nope

the whole secant is 8
the external part is 2
