Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
We have perpendicular bisector through a chord of the circle. We know the length, so either side of the chord is 11 due to the bisector cutting it directly in half. Since the radius is a fixed distance from the center to any point on the edge of the circle, we can draw the radius x from the circle to the end of the chord to form a right triangle.
We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side length x. a=6, b=11 and c=x.
