Answer:

x = 4
√(3) in

Explanation:

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

The square of the tangent is equal to the product of the secant's external part and the entire secant, that is

x² = 4(4 + 8) = 4 × 12 = 48 ( take the square root of both sides )

x =
√(48) =
√(16(3)) =
√(16) ×
√(3) = 4
√(3) ← exact value
