Answer:

B. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the tangent theorem, when two tangents meet at an external point of a circle, the length of the two tangents are said to be equal in length.

Therefore:

JK = JM

Substitute

5x - 12 = x + 4

Collect like terms

5x - x = 12 + 4

4x = 16

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

✔️JK = 5x - 12

Plug in the value of x

JK = 5(4) - 12

JK = 20 - 12

JK = 8
