Question

What is the value of n?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of n will be 8 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

Two chords at a point inside the circle.

The product of the segments of the intersecting chords are equal.

From the figure a attached below, the segments of one chord are 4 and 6 centimeters.

The segments of other cord are n and 3 centimeters.

As the product of the segments of the intersecting chords are equal.

so

$n\:\times\:3\:=\:4\:\times\:6$

$n\cdot \:3=24$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{n\cdot \:3}{3}=\frac{24}{3}$

$n=8$

Therefore, the value of n will be 8 centimeters.

Answer 2

Answer:

8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio the 3 and the 6 is 1:2. Plug in the 4 for the 1 so it becomes 4:(4)2. 4x2=8 so 4:8
