Answer:

x=20.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

In a circle, perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle

That means

x/2 is the base of the right triangle of the figure

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem in the right triangle

[tex]12^2=6^2+(\frac{x}{2})^2[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]144=36+\frac{x^2}{4}\\\\\frac{x^2}{4}=144-36\\\\\frac{x^2}{4}=108\\\\x^2=432\\\\x=20.8\ units[/tex]
