Explanation
we have a secant and a tangent
To solve the question, we will apply the intersecting secant and tangent theorem
So, for the question
we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} PB^2=PA(PA+AC) \\ \\ PB^2=6(6+18) \\ \\ PB^2=6(24) \\ \\ PB=144 \\ \\ PB=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of PB is 12
