Using the circle theorem for the intersection of a tangent and a chord:

An angle formed by a chord and a tangent that intersect on a circle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

Using the theorem, we can write:


94^0\text{ = }(1)/(2)\text{ }* x

Solving for x:


\begin{gathered} x\text{ = 2 }*94 \\ x=188^0 \end{gathered}

Similarly, we can write:


\begin{gathered} \text{z = 2}*(180-94) \\ z\text{ = 2 }*86 \\ z=172^0 \end{gathered}

Answer:

z = 172 degrees
