Answer:

10.7

Explanation:

Hello There!

The image shown below shows the relationship between two chords formed inside of a circle

So the product of the lengths of the lines in the same chord is equal to the product of the other length of the chords lines if that makes sense

So basically 6 * 16 = 9 * x

we can now use this equation that was just made to solve for x

6 * 16 = 96

96 = 9x

*divide each side by 9*

96/9=10.66666667 *round to the nearest tenth* 10.7

9x/x

we're left with x = 10.7
