Question

If segment ac and segment bc are tangent to circle o find the value of x

Answer 1

x = 150°

Explanation:

Start by cutting the shape into two triangles by bisecting the 30°

Now we have two triangles that have two angles 90° and 15°

Subtract 15° from 90°, you'll get 75°

Double 75° because x is split into 2

150° = x

Also, were given 3 angles, this is a quadrilateral.

90° + 90° + 30° = 210°

360° - 210° = 150°

Answer 2

150°

Explanation:

OA⊥AC and OB⊥BC

∠A+∠B+∠C+∠O=360°

90°×2+30°+x=360°

x=360°-210°=150°
