Question

*i will give you brainliest and 100 pts* Find the value of y. 3 cm 5 cm х 6 cm 2 cm 3cm. y = [?] cm Enter a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth. Enter

Answer 1

We have to use the secant theorem, which states

$(y+3)\cdot3=(9+2)\cdot2$

Then, we solve for y

$\begin{gathered} 3y+9=11\cdot2 \\ 3y=22-9 \\ y=\frac{13}{3}=4.3 \end{gathered}$

Hence, y is equal to 4.3 cm.
