Answer:

10

Explanation:

Hello,

I believe this is the explanation of this problem. If not, anyone else is free to correct me on this.

Look at the line segment passes through the center and is divided into 8 and 4. Since this line segment passes through the center of the circle, this is the diameter and is equal to 12 simply by adding 8 and 4..

Let's look at the next segment. It passes through the center as well, so it must have the same diameter. After all, the circle has the same diameter no matter what as long as the segment passes through the center.

You have the length of one part of that segment, which is 2. Subtract it from 12, the diameter you got from the other segment, and the answer is 10.

Hope this helps!
