Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment lengths of each chord have the same product.

(x -2)(x +6) = 9×20

x² +4x -12 = 180

x² +4x +4 = 196 . . . . . add 16 (complete the square)

(x +2)² = 14²

x +2 = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . positive root is the only one useful

x = 12

How to find the median

KengaRu [80]

We can find the median by using the formula:

(N+1/2) th item

For example:

Given data: 4,6,3,5,7

We have to arrange the data into ascending order:

=3,4,5,6,7

N(total no of items)=5

Now,

Median=(N+1/2)th item

 =(5+1/2) th item

 =(6/2) th item

 = 3rd item

Median=5

Hope it helps
