Sagot :

A circle with two chords is given with length X, 8, x-12, 12. Thus, The value of x is 24.

What is the relation between line perpendicular to chord from the center of circle?

If the considered circle has center O and chord AB, then if there is perpendicular from O to AB at point C, then that point C is bisecting(dividing in two equal parts) the line segment AB.

Or

|AC| = |CB|

Using the theorem of intersecting chords

[tex]12x =8(x-12)\\\\12x = 8x - 96\\\\12x - 8x = 96\\\\4x = 96\\\\x = 24[/tex]

The value of x is 24.
