1. Problem Description
In the given circle, is a diameter, and is parallel to . Given that , we want to find the measure of .
2. Solution Steps
Since , (alternate interior angles).
Since is a diameter, (angle in a semicircle).
Consider quadrilateral . Since the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is ,
Since , the arc is equal to the arc . Therefore, and .
In , .
Thus, .
Therefore and .
Thus,
Alternatively, since , . Let . Then .
Since , , which implies .
Since , . We also have .
The sum of the angles in is , so
.
This does not help.
Since , arcs and are equal. Therefore
Therefore, in ,
Since we get:
Consider quadrilateral inscribed in the circle.
Consider triangle . We know that and so .
.
Since , (alternate interior angles).
Let . Then . Thus, .
Angle in a semicircle, .
Also, , so .
.
