The answer is 12 because o answered this before

Answer 2

Answer:

C) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

I couldn't tell what kind of segments were associated with your circle, so I'll go based on the image below.

Based on the image, we know QM = 15, SM = 10, and RM = 18. To find the length of segment PM, we use the formula used to find segment lengths when there are two chords in a circle.

Our formula: (SM)(RM) = (QM)(PM)

Now, we fill in the data and solve: (10)(18) = (15)(x)

(10)(18) = 180

(15)(x) = 15x

180 = 15x → 180 ÷ 15 = 12 & 15x ÷ 15 = x

x = 12
