Answer:

x = 10 units

Explanation:

By theorem,

Perpendicular drawn from the center to the chord of a circle, bisects the chord.

AB = BC = 6

In right triangle ΔCBD,

By applying Pythagoras theorem,

CD² = BC² + BD²

= 6² + 8²

CD =
√(36+64)

= 10

Since, CD and the side measuring x are the radii of the circle D.

x = CD = 10 units
