1. Problem Description

The problem asks for the measure of the inscribed angle ACB in a circle, given that angle ACB =(7x+16)= (7x + 16)^\circ and the intercepted arc APB measures (18x32)(18x - 32)^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore, we have:
mACB=12×marc APBm\angle ACB = \frac{1}{2} \times m\text{arc }APB
(7x+16)=12(18x32)(7x + 16) = \frac{1}{2} (18x - 32)
Multiply both sides by 2:
2(7x+16)=18x322(7x + 16) = 18x - 32
14x+32=18x3214x + 32 = 18x - 32
Subtract 14x14x from both sides:
32=4x3232 = 4x - 32
Add 32 to both sides:
64=4x64 = 4x
Divide by 4:
x=16x = 16
Now we can find the measure of the inscribed angle ACB:
mACB=(7x+16)=(7(16)+16)=(112+16)=128m\angle ACB = (7x + 16)^\circ = (7(16) + 16)^\circ = (112 + 16)^\circ = 128^\circ

3. Final Answer

The measure of the inscribed angle is 128 degrees.
