Answer:

≈ 10.7 ft

Explanation:

We have 2 secants to a circle from an external point.

The product of the measure of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant.

let the internal part of the right secant be x , then

6(6 + x) = 4(4 + 12) = 4 × 16 = 64 ( divide both sides by 6 )

6 + x ≈ 10.7 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x ≈ 4.7

length of pass = 6 + 4.7 = 10.7
