If the measure of a tangent chord angle is 68 degrees then what is the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle
1 answer:
Answer:
136°
Explanation:
Theorem: The measure of the angle formed by a tangent and a chord is equal to one-half the measure of the intercepted arc.
In the diagram below, PR is the chord, PRS is the tangent, and PQR is the intercepted arc.
Per the theorem,
mPRS = ½mPQR
mPQR = 2mPRS = 2 × 68° = 136°
The measure of the intersected arc is 136°.
