What is the value of x? any would be great: )

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants drawn from an external point to the circle, then

EC × ED = EB × EA, that is

(x + 4)(x + 4 + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 11)

(x + 4)(x + 5) = (x + 1)(x + 12) ← expand factors on both sides

x² + 9x + 20 = x² + 13x + 12 ← subtract x² + 13x from both sides

- 4x + 20 = 12 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

- 4x = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 2

then, the surface area of the sphere shown in the image is: 256π sq. units!

step-by-step explanation:

the lateral surface area of a sphere is 2πrh where h=2r.

then:

surface area = 4πr^2.

in this case, r=8 units ⇒ surface area = 4π(8 units)^2. = 256π sq. units!

then, the surface area of the sphere shown in the image is: 256π sq. units!
