Question

In circle V, m/WVX = 97°. Solve for z if mW X = (3x +49)°. If necessary,

round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

z = (97 - 49)/3 = 24.3

Answer 2

x = 16

Explanation:

the measure of an arc has the same measure as the central angle that intercepts it , that is

3x + 49 = 97 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

3x = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 16
