1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with an inscribed angle xx and an exterior angle of 7676^\circ. We need to find the values of angle xx and the intercepted arc yy.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's find the measure of the intercepted arc by the 7676^\circ angle. The measure of an exterior angle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs. Let yy be the measure of the intercepted arc by the angle 7676^{\circ}. Let's assume the other intercepted arc is 00^\circ. Then,
76=12y76 = \frac{1}{2} y
Multiply both sides by 2:
152=y152 = y
The inscribed angle xx intercepts arc yy. The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. So,
x=12yx = \frac{1}{2}y
x=12(152)x = \frac{1}{2}(152)
x=76x = 76

3. Final Answer

x=76x = 76
y=152y = 152
