O is the center of the given circle. The measure of angle O is 128°. The diagram is not drawn to scale. Assuming that lines that appear to be tangent are tangent, what is the value of x?
Solution:
We know that the measure of exterior angle is the semi difference of the arc it covers.
By central angle
m AB = 128°
By substituting it
m ACB = 360 - 128 = 232°
We know that
∠x = 1/2 × (m ACB - m AB)
Substituting the values
∠x = 1/2 × (232 - 128)
∠x = 1/2 × 104
∠x = 52°
Therefore, the value of x is 52°.
O is the center of the given circle. The measure of angle O is 128°. The diagram is not drawn to scale. Assuming that lines that appear to be tangent are tangent, what is the value of x?
Summary:
O is the center of the given circle. The measure of angle O is 128°. The diagram is not drawn to scale. Assuming that lines that appear to be tangent are tangent, the value of x is 52°.
