Angles in a Circle

Definition:

An exterior angle of a circle is an angle whose vertex is outside a circle and the sides of the angle are secants or tangents of the circle.

We are given a circle with two angles a and b subtended by an external angle x.

The value of x can be calculated as follows:


x=(b-a)/(2)=(95-25)/(2)=(70)/(2)=35

Answer: first choice 35°
