Answer:

The value of x = 34° ⇒ first answer

Explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about the circle

- A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints

both lie on the circle

- When two chords, intersect inside a circle then the measure

of the angles formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the

intercepted arcs.

* Now lets solve the problem

- There are two chords intersect inside the circle

∵ AC and DB are two chords intersect each other at point O

- The measures of the angles between them is 1/2 the measure

of their intercepted arc

∵ ∠AOB subtended by arc AB

∵ ∠COD subtended by arc CD

∴ m∠AOB = m∠COD = 1/2[measure arc AB + measure arc CD]

∵ The measure of arc AB = 45°

∵ The measure of arc CD = 23°

∴ m∠AOB = m∠COD = 1/2[45 + 23] = 1/2[68] = 34°

- The measure of angle AOB represented by x

∴ m∠AOB = x

∴ The value of x = 34°
