Algebra Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.

  1. A circle with center O has a chord measuring 16 extending from one end of a diameter line measuring 20. A segment measuring x extends from O perpendicular to the chord.
  2. A circle with center O has a radius line measuring x. A segment measuring 3.6 extends from O perpendicular to a chord measuring 8.
  3. A circle has a radius line measuring 12 meeting the end of a chord measuring x. A segment measuring 6 extends from the center perpendicular to the chord.
