Answer:

Explanation:

Tricky. Very neat.

You are missing the minor arcAC and you need it, but don't fret. It can be found.

The formula for this is x = 1/2(Major Arc(235) - Minor Arc(see below) )

The minor arc is the supplement of x.

The minor arc is also equal to the the central angle

So the minor arc is 180 - x

x = 1/2 (235 - (180 - x) ) Remove the inside brackets

x = 1/2 (55 + x ) Remove the remaining brackets

x = 1/2 *55 + 1/2x Subtract 1/2x from both sides

1/2 x = 27.5 Multiply both sides by 2

x = 55
