Given:

The objective is to find the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula using tangent segment theorem,


x^2=6*(6+18)\text{ . . . .(1)}

On further solving the equation (1).


\begin{gathered} x^2=6*(24) \\ x^2=144 \end{gathered}

Now, taking square root on both sides,


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{144} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of x is 12.

Hence, option (3) is the correct answer.
