Answer:
1. ∠EDF = 104°
2. arc FG = 201°
3. ∠T = 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of angle relationships that are applicable to these problems.
- the angle where chords meet is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs
- the angle where secants meet is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs
The first of these applies to the first two problems.
1. ∠EDF = 1/2(arc EF + arc UG)
∠EDF = 1/2(147° +61°) = 1/2(208°)
∠EDF = 104°
__
2. ∠FHG = 1/2(arc FG + arc ES)
128° = 1/2(arc FG +55°) . . . substitute given information
256° = arc FG +55° . . . . . . multiply by 2
201° = arc FG . . . . . . . . . subtract 55°
__
3. For the purpose of this problem, a tangent is a special case of a secant in which both intersection points with the circle are the same point. The relation for secants still applies.
∠T = 1/2(arc FS -arc US)
∠T = 1/2(170° -50°) = 1/2(120°)
∠T = 60°
