Read each question carefully and solve for the unknown values. Show all your work.
1. In the circle below, chords AB and CD intersect at point E. If AE = 6, EB = 8, and CE = 4, what is the length of ED?
Show your work:
2. Chords PQ and RS intersect at point T inside a circle. If PT = 9, TQ = 5, and RT = 3, find the length of TS.
3. The Intersecting Chords Theorem states that if two chords intersect inside a circle, then the product of the segments of one chord is equal to the of the segments of the other chord.
4. If a chord is divided into segments of length 'a' and 'b' by an intersecting chord, and the second chord is divided into segments 'c' and 'd', then the theorem can be expressed as .
5. Chords AC and BD intersect at point E. If AE = x, EC = 12, BE = 8, and ED = 6, what is the value of x?
