Answer:

D

Explanation:

if 2 secants are drawn from an external point to a circle , then

the product of one secant's external part and that entire secant is equal to the product of the other secant's external part and that entire secant.

then the equation is

3(3 + q) = 2(2 + 4) = 2 × 6 = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

3 + q = 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

q = 1
