Answer:

  1. B
  2. 152°
  3. B
  4. A

Explanation:

The measure of an arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle that subtends that arc. A tangent is a special case where the chord that is one leg of the inscribed angle has a length of zero.

1. Short arc LJ is 2a°. Short arc LK is 2b°. Then arc JLK is 2(a+b)°, and short arc JK is ...

arc JK = 360° -2(a +b)° . . . . . matches choice B

__

2. Long arc WY is twice the measure of "inscribed" angle WYZ, so is ...

long ard WY = 2(104°) = 208°

Then short arc WY is ...

arc WXY = 360° -208° = 152°

__

3. The arc measures are double those of the corresponding inscribed angles. We can add up the arcs around the circle:

(arc AB +arc BC) = 2×70° = 140° . . . inscribed angle relation

(arc BC +arc CD) = 2×98° = 196° . . . inscribed angle relation

arc AB + arc BC +arc CD +arc DA = 360° . . . . sum around the circle

Adding the first two equations with arc DA, we have ...

(arc AB + arc BC) +(arc BC +arc CD) +arc DA = 360° +arc BC

140° +196° +80° = 360° +arc BC

416° -360° = arc BC = 56° . . . . . matches choice B

__

4. Angle C and angle A are supplementary in this inscribed quadrilateral.

angle C = 180° -98° = 82° . . . . . matches choice A
