1. Problem Description
We are given a circle with an arc measuring . We need to find the measure of angle , where lines and appear to be tangent to the circle. The lines that appear to be tangent are indeed tangent.
2. Solution Steps
The angle is formed by two tangents to the circle. Let the measure of arc be . The measure of the major arc is .
The angle formed by two tangents is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
In this case, .
Then the measure of the major arc is .
The measure of is half the difference between the measures of the intercepted arcs:
.
