Answer:

D. 21 ft

Explanation:

We need to use Power of Points, which basically says that for intersecting chords in a circle (see attachment), a * b = c * d.

Here, we can say that a = x, b = 6, c = 7, and d = 18. Then, we have the equation:

ab = cd

x * 6 = 7 * 18

6x = 126

x = 21

Thus, x is 21 ft.

Hope this helps!
