Hello Guest!
Die Differenz der Maße zwischen den durch den Akkord AB eingeschlossenen Bögen beträgt 160 °. Die Linie l tangiert den Kreis am Punkt A. Ermitteln Sie das Maß für den Winkel zwischen der Tangente l und der Sekante AB.
The angle between the radius vector and the secant is
(180°-160°) / 2 = 10°.
The angle between the radius vector and the tangent is 90°.
The angle between the tangent and the secant is
90° + 10° = 100°.
