Question

Tu is a Tangent to the circle at v. Find the value of x

Answer 1

Explanation:

Arc wxv is 360 - 176 = 184 degrees

this makes angle 98-3x = 1/2 (184) = 92°

( 98 -3x )°= 92°

- 3x = -6

x = 3

Answer 2

Answer:2.333...

Explanation:

A tangent meets a radius (also works with diameters) at 90°.

This means (98 - 3x) = 90

98 = 90 + 3x

8 = 3x

x = 8 / 3 = 2.3333333......
