Question

If RS equals 59 and ST equals 10x - 31 find x

Answer 1

The chord RS and chord ST subtends equal angles the center. So length of chord ST is equal to length of chord RS.

Determine the value of x.

`\begin{gathered} RS=ST \\ 59=10x-31 \\ 10x=59+31 \\ x=(90)/(10) \\ =9 \end{gathered}`

So value of x is 9.
