Question

I need help w this problem, I got incorrect but don’t know why

Answer 1

`26\degree`

Step-by-step explanation

The measure of angle x is equal to half the difference of the major arc and minor arc on the lines that form the angle.

First, we have to find the measure of the minor arc by subtracting the measure of the given angle from 180 degrees:

`\begin{gathered} 180-116 \\ \Rightarrow64\degree \end{gathered}`

Now, we can find the measure of the angle x:

`\begin{gathered} x=(1)/(2)(116-64) \\ x=(1)/(2)\cdot52 \\ x=26\degree \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
