Answer:

NT = 14 units

Explanation:

In this question we will apply the theorem of intersecting chords.

Two chords MY and TN are intersecting each other inside a circle at a point H.

Theorem states,

MH × HY = TH × HN

12(x) = 8(x + 2)

12x = 8x + 16

12x - 8x = 16

4x = 16

x = 4

Therefore, measure of chord NT = NH + HT

= 8 + (x + 2)

= x + 10

= 4 + 10

= 14 units
