Answer

B. 39°

Explanation

To solve this, we will use the outside angle theorem: the measure of an angle formed by two secants from a point outside the circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

We can infer form our pictures that the intercepted arcs are
XZ=114 and
TS=36, so let's use our theorem:


XYZ=(114-36)/(2)


XYZ=(78)/(2)


XYZ=39

We can conclude that the measure of angle XYZ is 39°
