Question

Solve for x. 60 10 20 120

Answer 1

Hey there!

We have the angle is equal to half the measure of the arc of 120 degrees. (Just another rule for circles)

7x-10=0.5(120)

7x-10=60

7x=70

x=10

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

Tangent Chord Angle = 1/2 Intercepted Arc

7x-10 = 1/2 ( 120)

7x -10 = 60

Add 10 to each side

7x -10+10 = 60+10

7x = 70

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 70/7

x = 10
