Answer:

A

Explanation:

Given a tangent and a secant from an external point to the circle, then

the product of the external part and the whole of the secant is equal to the square of the tangent, that is

48(48 + x) = 60² = 3600 ( divide both sides by 48 )

48 + x = 75 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

x = 27 → A
