We know that the product of lengths of the same chord is equal to the product of the other chord intersecting it.. So;


\purple{ \mathfrak{x * 6 = 12 * 5}}


\large \purple{ \mathfrak{x = (12 * 5)/(6)}}


\large \purple{ \mathfrak{x = \frac{ \cancel{12} * 5}{ \cancel6}}}


\large \purple{ \mathfrak{x = 2 * 5}}


\large \boxed{ \red{ \mathfrak{x =10}}}
