Answer:

Explanation:

The chords, when cut anywhere along their length so that there is one intersection point, will produce the following relationship for this question.

(w + 6)*4 = 16*10 Remove the brackets

4*w + 24 = 160 Subtract 24 from both sides

4w = 160 - 24 Combine the right

4w = 136 Divide by 4

w = 136/4

w = 34
