Question

Solve for X.
A. 80
B. 40
C. 260
D. 130

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

the sum of the arcs in a circle = 360°

here the major arc = 260° , then

the minor arc = 360° - 260° = 100°

the measure of the tangent- tangent angle x is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs, that is

x =
`(1)/(2)` (260 - 100) =
`(1)/(2)` × 160 = 80
