Two chords of a circle, AB and CD, intersect at X, such that AX=BX= 6 cm. CX=4 cm and DX=9 cm. Calculate the radius of the circle, given that it has an integer value. I constructed a secant EG of a diameter FG of the circle and drew a tangent from C to it at E, then we have from the intersecting secant theroem: EFxEG=EC^2.Many thanks guys.
