Applying the intersecting chords theorem, the length of line segment HJ that is formed by the intersecting chords is: B. 20 units.

What is the Intersecting Chord Theorem?

Given the circle shown in the image below, where chords RT and GJ intersect at poiint H, according to the intersecting chords theorem, the following equation relates the lenghts of the segments formed by the chords:

(GH)(HJ) = (RH)(HT)

Plug in the given values into the equation:

(8)(HJ) = (10)(16)

HJ(8) = 160

HJ = 160/8

HJ = 20 units
