Question

Segment AB and AC are tangent to circle C find the value of X in the length of BC

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

BC = 6

Explanation:

Tangents from the same point are congruent, so ...

2x = x+3

x = 3 . . . . . . . subtract x

BC = x+3 = 3+3 = 6 . . . . . . substitute for x

The length of BC is 6.
