Question

FInd the value of x.
Y
D
W
X
(15x-8)
X =
N
226

Answer 1

Let's start with the given arc and its angle.

The angle YWX is going to be half the arc length.

YWX = 1/2 (226) = 113

Angles VWX and YWX form a linear pair (or are supplementary angles), which means that their sum is 180 degrees.

(15x - 8) + 113 = 180

15x + 105 = 180

15x = 75

x = 5

Hope this helps!
