Hi, 

 

1. In the diagram angle U=30 degrees, arc XY is 170 degrees, and arc VW is 110 degrees. Find arc WY in degrees.

Sorry, I couldn't get the upload to work.

arc VX + arc WY = 80º          ( arc VX and arc WY are called intercepted arcs )

 

Important:   When a tangent and a secant, two secants, or two tangents intersect outside a circle then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

 

(arc WY - arc VX) / 2 = 30º

 

arc WY = 70º   indecision
