The main focus is to correctly apply the Intersecting Chords Theorem. Given the lengths of three segments of the intersecting chords  and , we need to find the length of the fourth segment  by using the appropriate formula from the theorem.

 

Key Concept Explanation

Intersecting Chords Theorem: When two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of the lengths of the segments of each chord are equal. That is, if chords  and  intersect at point , then .
