Answer:
p = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 intersecting chords in a circle.
Then the product of the measures of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the parts of the other chord, that is
6(2p - 3) = 4 × 4.5 ← distribute left side
12p - 18 = 18 ( add 18 to both sides )
12p = 36 ( divide both sides by 12 )
p = 3
