Answer:

9. 75°

10. 60°

Explanation:

Note the angle-intercept theorem. If you create an angle in the opposite side of a circle from 2 points on other side, the arc will have a measure TWICE that of the intercepted angle created on other side.

Question 9

Arc WX has a measure 76, thus the angle created is Angle V, which should be HALF of that. So angle V is 76/2 = 38

Now looking at the triangle inside the circle, we know three angles of a triangle add up to 180, thus we can write and solve for "?" angle:

X + W + V = 180

? + 67 + 38 = 180

? + 105 = 180

? = 180 - 105 = 75°

Question 10

Using the theorem we can say that Angle B is HALF of ARC XYZ.

So,

2*Angle B = Arc XY + Arc YZ

2*102 = Arc XY + 124

204 = Arc XY + 124

Arc XY = 204 - 124 = 80°

Also, Arc BX + Arc XY is twice that of Angle Z (which is 70), thus

Arc BX + Arc XY = 70 *2

Arc BX + Arc XY = 140

Arc BX + 80 = 140

Arc BX = 140 - 80 = 60°
