So yeah find x:
There is a circle, and there is a secant and a tangent touching it. The tangent=x
The chord of the secant=9 and the outside part of the secant segment= 3.
The secant and tangent I tersect outside the circle.... If you understood what I wrote, can you ease tell me how to solve for x?

If I understood your description correctly, I believe the answer you are seeking is -
x^2 = 3*9
x= 27 ^ (1/2)
I'm not sure I understand your dimensions correctly, but the link below has the the directions you are looking for. You need to scroll down to find the correct example - It's one of the ones that starts with "SEGMENTS"
Hope that helps!
