Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. <B is an inscribed angle in a circle which intercepts arc AC.

Therefore, m<B = ½ of m<AC

B = ½ * 128° = 64°

x = 180 - (64 + 43)

x = 180 - 107 = 73°

2. The circle given shows two chords intersecting at point H.

According to intersecting chords theorem, the products of the segments formed by one chord equals the product of the segments formed by the other.

Therefore,

`10*x = 14*5`

Solve for x

`10x = 70`

Divide both sides by 10

`x = 7`
