Answer:

B

Explanation:

If 2 chords of a circle intersect, then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord , that is

BW × WD = AW × WC ( substitute values )

6 BW = 3 × 8 = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

BW = 4 units

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Intersecting Chords theorem: When two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of their segments are equal.

AW * WC = WD * BW

3 * 8 = 6 * BW


\sf (3*8)/(6) = BW

BW = 4 units
