Answer:
x = 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
By geometric mean theorem:
Length of perpendicular
[tex] =\sqrt{2\times 6}[/tex]
[tex] =\sqrt{12}[/tex]
Next, by Pythagoras theorem:
[tex] x^2 = 2^2 + (\sqrt {12})^2 [/tex]
[tex] \therefore x^2 = 4 + 12 [/tex]
[tex] \therefore x^2 = 16 [/tex]
[tex] \therefore x =\sqrt{ 16 }[/tex]
[tex] \therefore x =4\: units[/tex]
