Answer:

  6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of lengths from the point of intersection of the chords to the circle is a constant. For these chords, that constant is ...

  ST·TW = (4 ft)(12 ft) = 48 ft²

Then RT can be found from ...

  RT·TV = 48 ft²

  RT = (48 ft²)/TV = (48 ft²)/(8 ft)

  RT = 6 ft
