The value of x is 84°.

Solution:

Measure of intercepted arc = 168°

Measure of angle x = ?

Tangent-chord relationship:

If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point, then the measure of each angle formed is half of the measure of its intercepted arc.


$\Rightarrow \angle x = (1)/(2)* 168^\circ


$\Rightarrow \angle x = 84^\circ

The value of x is 84°.
