Answer 1

Answer

48

Explanation

The product of the secant and the extension of the chord is normally equivalent to square of the tangent.

From the diagram given,

The length of the secant = 2+6

                                          = 8

Length of the extension of the chord = 6

length of the tangent = x

∴ x² = 8 × 6

      = 48
