The value of x assuming e that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent is 8

Circle geometry

The triangle inside the circle is right angles since the side length "x" is tangential to the circle.

To determine the value of "x", we will use the Pythagorean theorem as shown:

17^2 = x^2 + 15^2

289 = x^2 - 225
x^2 = 289 - 225
x^2 = 64

x = 8

Hence the value of x assuming e that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent is 8
