Answer:

IU = 161

Explanation:

Angle Formed by Two Secants= 1/2 (difference of Intercepted Arcs)

42 = 1/2 (7m+5 - (3m-1))

Distribute the minus sign

42 = 1/2 (7m+5 - 3m+1))

Combine like terms

42 = 1/2 ( 4m+6)

Distribute the 1/2

42 = 2m+3

Subtract 3 from each side

42-3 = 2m+3-3

39 = 2m

Divide by 2

19.5 = m

The sum of the arcs = 360

IU+ 3m-1 + 7m+5 = 360

IU +10m+4 = 360

IU +10(19.5) +4 = 360

IU +195+4 = 360

IU = 360 - 199

IU=161
