Answer:

120

Explanation:

You want to know the measure of the third arc of a circle where one of the arcs is labeled 114°, and a second arc is intercepted by a 63° inscribed angle.

Inscribed angle

The measure of an inscribed angle (63°) is half the measure of the arc it intercepts:

(1/2)(arc) = 63°

arc = 2·63° = 126° . . . . . arc opposite the 63° angle

Arcs of a circle

The total of arcs of a circle total 360°.

114° +126° +x° = 360°

x° = 120° . . . . . . . . . subtract 240°

The value of x is 120.
