Answer:

A

Explanation:

given 2 intersecting chords TN and YM , then

the product of the measures of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the parts of the other chord, that is

TH × NH = MH × YH ( substitute values )

8(x + 20) = 12 × 20 = 240 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x + 20 = 30 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

x = 10
