Answer :

The measure of NK( = x) is 4 units in the circle when two chords intersect each other.

What is a circle?

It is defined as the combination of points that and every point has an equal distance from a fixed point ( called the center of a circle).

We have a circle in which chords JK and LM are intersecting.

JN = 3 units

LN = 2 units

NM = 6 units

NK = x units.

We know that when two chords of a circle are intersecting each other their product of segments is equal, ie.

JN×NK = LN×NM

3×[tex]\rm x[/tex] = 2×6

[tex]\rm x =\frac{12}{3}[/tex]

x = 4 units

Thus, the measure of NK( = x) is 4 units in the circle when two chords intersect each other.
