Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The secant- secant angle WSX is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

`(1)/(2)` (116 - WX)° = 45° ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

116 - WX = 90° ( subtract 116° from both sides )

- WX = - 26° ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

WX = 26° → D

Answer 2

to find the WX you have to use this formula

m>S=TR-WX/2

45=116-WX/2

90=116-WX

WX=116-90

WX=26

the answer is D 26
