Geometry tangent secant thing

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-06-14] [Hit: ]
.. If you understood what I wrote, can you ease tell me how to solve for x?-If I understood your description correctly,Im not sure I understand your dimensions correctly,......
So yeah find x:
There is a circle, and there is a secant and a tangent touching it. The tangent=x
The chord of the secant=9 and the outside part of the secant segment= 3.
The secant and tangent I tersect outside the circle.... If you understood what I wrote, can you ease tell me how to solve for x?

-
If I understood your description correctly, I believe the answer you are seeking is -

x^2 = 3*9

x= 27 ^ (1/2)

I'm not sure I understand your dimensions correctly, but the link below has the the directions you are looking for. You need to scroll down to find the correct example - It's one of the ones that starts with "SEGMENTS"

Hope that helps!
