1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the arc yy that corresponds to the central angle of 5050^\circ given the arc xx is 5050^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

The degree measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its central angle. In this problem, the central angle is given as 5050^\circ.
The circumference of a circle is 360360^\circ. The two arcs, xx and yy, combine to form the entire circle. Therefore, we have
x+y=360x + y = 360^\circ
We are given that the central angle for arc xx is 5050^\circ. Since the degree measure of the arc xx is equal to the measure of its central angle, x=50x = 50^\circ.
Therefore, we can substitute x=50x = 50^\circ in the equation x+y=360x + y = 360^\circ:
50+y=36050^\circ + y = 360^\circ
y=36050y = 360^\circ - 50^\circ
y=310y = 310^\circ

3. Final Answer

y=310y = 310^\circ
