Question

For circle H, JN = x, NK = 2, LN = 3, and NM = 6. Solve for x. circle H with chords JK and LM intersecting at N inside the circle

Answer 1

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

$JN*NK=LN*NM$ ----> by intersecting chords theorem

substitute the given values

$(x)(2)=(3)(6)$

solve for x

$x=18/2\\x=9$

Answer 2

Answer:

JN is equal to 9
