Answer:

x = 55°

Explanation:

Inscribed Angle Theorem says that the angle inside the circle is equal to 0.5 times the measurement of the arc it span. For example, the 70° spans 140° of the arc.

Create two equations to solve for x and r.

x = 0.5r

2r + 2(70) = 360

2r + 140 = 360

2r = 220

r = 110

x = 0.5 * 110

x = 55°
