Answer to Problem 17PSC

  DE=26,  DC=39

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given concentric circles as shown,

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 10.8, Problem 17PSC , additional homework tip 1

Calculation:

Consider the figure,

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 10.8, Problem 17PSC , additional homework tip 2

  BC=3EF=4

Apply Secant-secant power theorem on inner circle,

  3x=2yy=1.5x...(1)

Apply Secant-secant power theorem on outer circle,

  (4+3)(x+EF)=(3+2)(y+BC)7(x+4)=5(y+3)7x+28=5y+157x−5y=−13.....(2)

  put  y=1.5x  in eqn(2)  we  get,7x−5y=−137x−5(1.5x)=−137x−7.5x=−13−.5x=−13x=26y=1.5(26)y=39

Hence, DE=26,  DC=39 .
