Answer:

  • C) 5

-----------------------

Apply the intersecting chords theorem, which states that:

  • the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

It gives us the following equation:

  • 2x*4 = 5*(x + 3)

Solve it for x:

  • 8x = 5x + 15
  • 8x - 5x = 15
  • 3x = 15
  • x = 5

The matching choice is C.
