1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to calculate the angle between a tangent and a chord (tetiva in Serbian) if the chord divides the circle into two arcs in the ratio 3:
7.

2. Solution Steps

Let the two arcs be 3x3x and 7x7x. Since the two arcs together form the entire circle, their sum is 360360^\circ.
So, we have:
3x+7x=3603x + 7x = 360^\circ
10x=36010x = 360^\circ
x=36010=36x = \frac{360^\circ}{10} = 36^\circ
The two arcs are 3x=336=1083x = 3 \cdot 36^\circ = 108^\circ and 7x=736=2527x = 7 \cdot 36^\circ = 252^\circ.
The angle between the tangent and the chord is half the angle subtended by the chord at the center. Let's consider the smaller arc which has a measure of 108108^\circ. The angle between the tangent and the chord is half of the measure of this arc.
Angle=1082=54\text{Angle} = \frac{108^\circ}{2} = 54^\circ

3. Final Answer

The angle between the tangent and the chord is 5454^\circ.
