Applying the appropriate circle theorems involving angles formed by chords and tangents, we have:
1. x = 75°; y = 85°, z = 210°
2. x = 38°
3. x = 143°
What is the Angles of Intersecting Tangents Theorem?
The angle formed outside a circle when two tangents intersect equals half of the positive difference of the intercepted arcs, based on the angles of intersecting tangents theorem.
What is the Angles of the Intersecting Chords Theorem?
The angles of intersecting chords theorem states that, half the sum of the intercepted arcs equals the vertical angle formed by two chords in a circle.
What is the Inscribed Angle Theorem?
According to the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of an inscribed angle in a circle = 1/2(measure of intercepted arc)
1. x = 180 - 105 (opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
x = 75°
y = 180 - 95 = 85°
z = measure of intercepted arc HEF = 2(105) [inscribed angle theorem]
m(HEF) = 210°
2. x = 1/2(218 - 142) [angles of intersecting tangents theorem]
x = 1/2(76)
x = 38°
3. x = 1/2(146 + 140) [angles of intersecting chords theorem]
x = 1/2(286)
x = 143°
