Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: The student did not write the formula correctly. The figure supports the intersecting secants theorem. The intersecting secants theorem states that when two secant segments intersect outside a circle, then the product of the length of one secant segment and the length of the external segment is equal to the product of the length of the other secant segment and the length of the second external segment. The formula based on the intersecting secants theorem is ZU times ZV equals ZW times ZT.
