Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

A radius is the distance from the center of a circle to the circumference (out edge) of a circle. Within the same circle, all radii are congruent. As per the given image, the radius of the circle is (5). As per its definition, the chord (a line in a circle that spans from one end of the circle to the other) with a measure of (x) is also another radius. Since all radii in a circle are congruent, (x) must also equal (5).
