Answer/Explanation:

The type of segments given in the picture are called secants.

The two secants meet at a point (A) outside the circle.

✅Thus, based on the secant -secant theorem:

AB*BC = AD*DE

AB = 4

BC = 8

AD = 3

DE = x

Plug in the values

4*8 = 3*x

32 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

32/3 = x

10.67 = x

x = 10.67
