Answer:

x = 8.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the theorem of intersecting tangent and secant segments.

"If secant and tangent are drawn to a circle from an external point, the product of lengths of the secant and its external segment will equal the square of the length of tangent."

8(8 + 2) = x²

x² = 80

x = √80

x = 8.944

x ≈ 8.9 units

Therefore, length of the tangent = 8.9 units
