Question

Find the value of x.
x = [?]

Answer 1

x = 14 units

Explanation:

• Distance of both the chords from the center of the circle is 9 units.

• -> Both the chords are equal. (Chords equidistant from the center of the circle are equal)

• Perpendicular drawn from the center of the circle bisects the chord.

• -> Measure of one chord = 7 + 7 = 14 unit

• -> Measure of the other chord = 14 units

• -> x = 14 units
