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 and . Since the two arcs together form the entire circle, their sum is .
So, we have:
The two arcs are and .
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 . The angle between the tangent and the chord is half of the measure of this arc.
3. Final Answer
The angle between the tangent and the chord is .
