1. Problem Description

We need to find the value of xx in the circle. The arc FGFG has a measure of 116116^\circ. The angle xx is a central angle subtending arc DEDE. We need to find the measure of arc DEDE.

2. Solution Steps

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
The inscribed angle that intercepts arc FGFG measures half the arc FGFG measure.
Let's find the measure of the inscribed angle that intercepts arc FGFG.
Inscribed angle =12×= \frac{1}{2} \times arc FGFG.
Inscribed angle =12×116=58= \frac{1}{2} \times 116^\circ = 58^\circ.
Since DEDE and FGFG are congruent chords (marked by pink lines), arcs DEDE and FGFG are congruent.
Therefore, arc DEDE has the same measure as arc FGFG.
Measure of arc DEDE = 116116^\circ.
The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
Therefore, x=x = measure of arc DEDE.
x=116x = 116^\circ.

3. Final Answer

116
