Answer: NP would be 12 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
MP= 8 cm, KP= 6 cm, and LP= 4 cm
Intersecting Chord Theorem: The product of parts of one chord always equals the parts of other provided both chords intersect each other inside the circle.
Mathematically,
a*b = c*d, where 'a' and 'b' are the parts of one chord and 'c' and 'd', are the parts of another chord.
So,
LP*NP = MP*KP
NP = MP*KP/LP
NP = 8*6/4
=> 12
