1. Problem Description
In the given diagram, is a tangent to the circle at point . We are given that is parallel to . We need to find the measure of angle . We are given that angle is .
2. Solution Steps
Since is tangent to the circle at , and is parallel to , we have because they are alternate interior angles.
.
Also, since , we know that and are supplementary angles. However, this is incorrect, and we need to consider the alternate interior angles, not supplementary angles.
We have the angle between the tangent and the chord is . By the tangent-chord theorem, the angle between the tangent and the chord is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the alternate segment. Therefore, .
However, since , we know that alternate interior angles are equal. Therefore, .
We are looking for .
Since , (alternate interior angles).
Also, we know that the angle formed by tangent and chord at the point of tangency is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
Thus, .
In triangle , . Therefore, triangle is an isosceles triangle with .
The sum of angles in triangle is , so .
Thus, , which implies .
3. Final Answer
The size of is .
Answer: B.
