Answer:

83/5, 16.6, 16 3/5

Explanation:

When two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an external point, the product of one secant segment and its external segment equals the product of the other secant segment and its external segment.

6 times 18 = 5(5+x)

The total secant segment is 6+12=18

so one side = 6 times 8.

The line from the circle (but not inside) is 5.

You don't know the entire segment, but you do know that 5 is part of it. Hence 5 times (5+x).

Sorry for the trashy explanation.
