Determine the value of w and x in the figure below. (Thanks for the help I really appreciate it!)

Triangle HAM looks like an isosceles triangle, and we know that in an isosceles triangle 2 of the angles are the same.

so :
180 - 106 = 74 ( sum of the other 2 angles )
74/2 = 37 ( sum of angle HMA / HAM )

angles on a straight line add up to 180.
180-37=143 ( angle x )

since triangle YMH is also an isosceles,
180-37=143
143/2=71.5 ( angle w )

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
