Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

Recall: the secant-tangent rule states that when a secant and a tangent meet at an external point of a circle, the product of the secant and the external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment

(x)(3) = 6² (secant-tangent rule)

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 12
